Cornell Cooperative Extension offers landowner property issues workshops
NORWICH – Cornell Cooperative Extension of Chenango County is taking a new approach in educating rural landowners who have questions about their rights and liabilities when looking at options for their properties.
The agency will address these questions in a series of two workshops designed for farmers and rural landowners, with an emphasis on small farms, beginning farmers, agroforestry, woodland owners and landowners considering alternative options for their properties.
According to workshop coordinator Rich Taber, the two classes are geared toward helping rural landowners better understand their rights and responsibilities as landowners, how to deal with issues in land ownership, how to transfer land to their heirs, or how to make more money from their land.
From 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. tonight at CCE, 99 N. Broad St. in Norwich, the agency will host the first workshop to address land leasing and liabilities, and posting and trespassing issues.
“Whenever you allow someone on to your property, you’ve got to have things spelled out,” said Taber, noting the importance of understanding lease agreements.
This workshop is designed to cover legal matters and options available to rural landowners to make leasing profitable, and address specific types of leases including gas, recreational and agricultural uses.
Rights and responsibilities for posting property boundary lines and other trespass issues will also be discussed. Local attorney Adam Spence, along with a representative from the Department of Environmental Conservation, will be present to clarify legal terminology and offer professional advice.
“Posting and trespass – that’s a big issue,” said Taber. “We try to address how to correctly post your property according to the law and how to address the legal issues.”
The second workshop, which looks at estate planning and the transition of property from one owner to the next, is scheduled from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m., June 27 at CCE. Options for transfer including tax implications, planning, easements and land trusts will be discussed.
This workshop gives landowners the tools and ideas needed to plan for the transfer of their properties, particularly for people who wish to keep land in their family, said Taber.
For many rural landowners, “these issues crop up again and again,” he explained.
“Properties do frequently change hands. If people don’t do estate planning, it can be a real difficult process,” he added.
Special speakers Isaiah Sutton, from the Chenango County Land Trust, and Bruce Erath, of the Voss Group in Norwich, will give professional insight and answer questions about planning and property transition.
A $10 charge applies for anyone interested in attending the two workshops. Similar workshops are also held by CCE of Broome and Otsego Counties. To register, contact CCE of Chenango County at 334-5841, ext. 11, or via email, cag256@cornell.edu.
