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.
