Landowners who wish to protect land should contact an appropriate conservation organization first and learn about the options available. A landowner should know that there is more than one conservation organization in their area. They should see which organization matches their desires for protecting the land and meet their personal requirements. Once a suitable conservation organization is identified, the landowner should seek their advice on how to proceed. Although ORLT is a valuable resource for information for the serious landowner regarding taxes, legal, estate issues and conservation planning – we ask that landowners ultimately rely on their own legal and financial consultants to help them review final decisions. Remember that many aspects regarding conservation easements and estate planning are very specialized and many attorneys and accountants have not dealt with them. |
