Tom Murray Featured in The Irish Farmers Journal on Fair Deal Planning for Farmers

Tom Murray, Founder of Fair Deal Advice, was recently featured in a two-page article in The Irish Farmers Journal—Ireland’s leading publication for the farming community—highlighting a growing and often overlooked issue facing farm families: the lack of planning for care and succession.

In the article, Tom outlines how common it is for Irish farming families to think about the Fair Deal Scheme only at the moment of a crisis. Whether it is retirement or arranging nursing home care, early planning is the best way to manage expensive care costs, reduce excess stress and ensure the family farm’s long-term viability.

A focus of the piece is the importance of early succession planning. Tom elucidated optimal strategies, guidance and readiness to protect farms and family assets from getting tangled-up in complicated financial and legal issues. Have a clear guideline about how to reduce exposure to Fair Deal charges and ensure a smoother transition to the next generation.
