Legal-Ease: Key steps for agriculture-involved LLCs and trusts

Agriculture-involved LLCs and trusts require certain key steps that aren’t necessarily included in other LLCs and trusts. Omitting these keys steps can be fatal to the LLC or trust’s operation.

While some law firms do take these key steps for agriculture-involved LLCs and trusts, not all do. Don’t assume the steps are being taken unless your lawyer explicitly tells you that they are.

After LLC or trust documents are prepared and filed (for LLCs), there are certain, additional key steps that must be taken if the LLC or trust will be involved in almost any aspect of agriculture.

Many of those steps are the same as if the LLC or trust was not agriculture related. However, a slight transition-related mistake in non-agriculture LLCs or trusts may be more forgivable as a matter of law and practicality than a mistake associated with an agriculture related LLC or trust.
