Farming Divorces: Specialist Legal Advice
At Wollens, we have extensive experience in farming divorces, understanding the unique challenges they present. Our approach is practical and commercially focused, aimed at achieving fairness while safeguarding the farming business’s viability.
Farming divorces require sensitivity to specific issues, such as:
- Low Liquidity: Farms often have high-value assets but limited cash flow.
- Impact of a Sale: Dividing assets may necessitate selling parts of the farm, affecting its operation and future viability.
- Volatile Market Conditions: Farming income can vary significantly due to market and weather conditions.
- Family Ownership: Farms are often held within families, complicating ownership and decision-making.
- Trust Arrangements and Succession Planning: Ensuring continuity of the farming enterprise while addressing spousal entitlements.
- Complex Valuation: Determining the value of assets, including development potential and distinguishing between matrimonial and non-matrimonial assets.
We collaborate with trusted local professionals, including valuers, accountants, and experts in trusts, tenancies, and planning, to provide a comprehensive service tailored to your needs.
To protect farming businesses against future divorce risks, we also advise on pre and post-nuptial agreements. Early legal advice is crucial, whether you’re contemplating a divorce or planning for the future.
We prioritise understanding your farm’s unique setup, often visiting the site to gain a clear picture of operations. With our expertise, you can trust us to help navigate this complex and emotionally charged process with care and precision.
Testimonials
Sending you some much deserved appreciation for your service in dealing with the estate of Mr Pratt on our behalf.
Knowing that Lydia was behind through this whole experience gave me the courage and confidence needed to get through the process. Her knowledge and understanding of family law got me the best possible outcome.
My will was all done remotely by phone, notes, letters due to the distance involved – about 145 miles, general health and Covid restrictions.
More recently I had a serious illness with loss of driving license and other lasting problems but I have been very lucky with the outcome. What seemed difficult was much easier with the help I was given. Excellent service. Solicitor Alex Jenkins and secretary Enya Garrett have been friendly, considerate, shown knowledge in an understanding way throughout preparing my will – and I have never met them.
Wollens is highly recommended.
Mine was a very lengthy and complicated case involving deputy ship for my Father’s financial affairs, and Probate following my Father’s death. Costs were high, as they always are with solicitors, but the service by Alex Jenkins and Edward Lee of Wollens, who dealt with my Father’s affairs, was very personal and much needed at a very traumatic time.
Craig and Shirley at Wollen’s have supported us throughout a particularly tricky matter, where usual routes of communication were not possible. The advice that we were given was always very clear and concise and we found Wollen’s very responsive to any queries or concerns. They were conscious of the weighty emotional element involved but very mindful of removing the emotion from decision making processes, which made it easier to see the bigger picture. I would certainly recommend to friends or colleagues requiring legal support.
I had a shareholder dispute with a partner. Simon has provided very valuable advice, while having a broad professional outlook on my case. He understood the core of the case swiftly and sharply. Besides being an in-depth professional, Simon Bean has enriched the value of advice by his empathic approach and pointing out key to-do’s for future endeavours. His letter of advice tackled the matter with depth, providing an exhaustive approach. An another point for which I am grateful, was his advice asto a person that is still on the steep curve of getting familiarised with many aspects of advising. I would definitely recommend him for his legal knowledge, for his communication throughout, and equally important, for his empathy and sharp overlook on situations.
