Passing Lands

You might consider your land as part of your legacy. Making decisions about how to pass your land to the next generation can be tricky but it is important to those you leave behind and the land itself. Vermont Coverts has tools and resources to help in the process.  

Check out the new planning workbook, For the Future of Your Forest: A Guide to Woodland Legacy Planning. This guide developed by Vermont Coverts and Vermont Woodlands Association with support from the Vermont Housing and Conservation Board is designed to help you in the planning process with information, strategies and worksheets to move the planning process forward. 

Vermont Coverts, through our Passing Lands Pop-ups, offers one-on-one consultations with financial professionals, lawyers, family mediators, landowners and others. This program offers landowners the opportunity for quick discussions and insights to their own specific situation.  Modeled as a speed dating format, participants get 15-20 minutes with each professional to begin, further, or enhance their thought process on the disposition of their land.
