This area covers how farm assets, land and farming businesses pass on death or retirement, and how rights to continue farming are secured when ownership or tenancy changes. A solicitor helps with reading and negotiating tenancy succession provisions, preparing applications to transfer or assign holdings, and ensuring executors or successors meet deadlines and legal requirements under agricultural tenancy and succession law. They advise on who can succeed to a tenancy, how liabilities transfer, and what protections apply to the farm business.
What a solicitor handles in these matters
Succession in farming involves specific provisions within agricultural tenancies, the transfer of tenancy rights, and the orderly continuation or transfer of the farming business. The solicitor handles the drafting and reviewing of notices, tenancy assignments or novations, and any related applications to tenancy authorities or registries, ensuring compliance with statutory time limits and the interplay between ownership, estate planning and farm business continuity.
