Tiffany Lashmet, J.D., AgriLife Extension agricultural law specialist, Amarillo, will be the presenter.

“Tiffany’s depth of knowledge in this area is worth driving a good distance to receive this education,” said Mason Carter, agriculture and natural resources agent, who recently transferred from Briscoe County to Oldham County. “Her estate planning seminar presentations are some of the most sought after, and we want to invite everyone from the surrounding region to attend.”

Lashmet said estate and business succession planning is one of the most important things any farmer, rancher or rural landowner can do, although the statistics indicate many simply aren’t doing it.
