Gepp Solicitors - Solicitors in Chelmsford, Essex

We understand that farming families face unique challenges when it comes to family law matters. From the intricacies of land ownership and inheritance to the complexities of divorce, succession planning, and business disputes, we offer expert legal advice tailored to the needs of the agricultural community.

Our specialist family law team has extensive experience working with farming families, helping them protect their family assets for generations to come.

Farming businesses often involve multiple generations, complicated property structures, and a mix of personal and business assets. Family law disputes in this context require a deep understanding of both farming and the legal issues that can arise. Our services cover a range of legal matters that are vital for farming families.

Divorce and financial settlements

Divorce can be particularly challenging for farming families due to the entanglement of personal and business assets. Our solicitors have a wealth of experience dealing with:

  • Valuation of farm assets, including land, livestock, and machinery.
  • Protection of inherited property and family businesses.
  • Dividing farming assets while ensuring the viability of the farming business.
  • Pension arrangements and financial settlements that consider long-term farm sustainability.
  • We work with you to achieve a fair financial settlement, ensuring the continuity of the family business wherever possible.

Pre-nuptial agreements

Farming families often have significant assets tied up in the land, property, and business operations, making it essential to protect these assets before marriage. A pre-nuptial agreement is a practical way to safeguard family wealth, ensuring that the farm remains within the family in the event of a divorce.

We draft pre-nuptial agreements that:

  • Protect inherited assets, such as land and farming equipment.
  • Clarify the division of farm-related assets between personal and business property.
  • Help prevent future disputes by clearly defining each spouse’s rights and obligations.
  • Ensure that the farming business can continue to operate without disruption.
