Why is the FFPA important?

Depending on the asset makeup of your estate, if your individual estate is valued at $10.5 million, current estate taxes could be over $800,000. Under the FFPA, your liability could be reduced to ZERO.

• The FFPA helps ensure that families don't have to worry about selling part or all of the farm to cover their estate tax bill.
• Family farms can stay with the family.
