Attorney Eric S. Johnson prepared his client to defend against potential challenges to the gift of a family farm in Monroe County worth over $500,000 to the client. Receiving the family farm is a day worthy of celebration. It can also create legal challenges, if other family members challenge the gift. Steps can be taken to drastically limit the likelihood and effectiveness of potential challenges. These steps include documenting the legal capacity of the giver to make the gift and having the giver consult with an independent attorney regarding the advisability of making the gift and alternatives to the proposed gift.
