  • Wind, Solar & Utility ExperienceWe know how wind farm, solar and utility companies approach farmers and what fair terms look like.
  • Plain-English GuidanceNo jargon. You will always understand your options and what the process involves.
  • All Ireland CoverageWe advise on farm land matters in every county across the Republic of Ireland.

Wind Farm or Solar ApproachA wind or solar developer has made contact about your land. Before you sign any option or lease, understand the process and what fair terms look like.
Pylon or Pipeline WayleaveA utility company is seeking access across your farm. Understand what a wayleave involves and what compensation you are typically entitled to.
Developer Approaching Your LandA developer has expressed interest in your farm land for housing or commercial development. Understand what your land is worth and how the process works before engaging.
Understanding Planning PotentialYou want to understand whether your farm land has development or planning potential and what the process of exploring that involves.

Legacy Advisory

Protect What
Generations
Built.

Your farm is more than land. We help landowners plan succession, navigate family agreement and secure the wishes that will outlast them.

Succession Planning

The question of who takes on the farm, and on what terms, is one that many families put off until it is too late. We help you think through the options: transferring in lifetime, structuring fair and workable arrangements between family members, and understanding what typical succession arrangements look like for Irish farm holdings. We bring clarity to a conversation that can otherwise divide families for a generation.

Family Mediation and Facilitation

When family members have different expectations about the farm's future, a neutral and informed facilitator can make the difference between a managed conversation and a lasting dispute. We facilitate structured family discussions, bringing relevant knowledge of Irish farm land, valuations and what fair arrangements typically look like, so that decisions are made on the basis of facts rather than frustration.

Structured Discussions · Neutral Facilitation · Family Agreement

Will and Testamentary Guidance

Your will determines what happens to the farm you spent your life building. We provide facilitation and guidance to help you think through your wishes clearly, working alongside your solicitor to ensure your will reflects what you actually intend. Many farmers have complex holdings: multiple folios, grazing rights, entitlements and dwelling houses. We help you work through all of it before you sit down with legal counsel.

Will Preparation · Solicitor Liaison · Clear Intentions

Land Valuation for Estate Purposes

Before any succession, transfer or testamentary process proceeds, understanding the realistic value of your farm land is essential. Whether it is agricultural land, land with development potential, or land subject to a utility wayleave or wind farm option, we provide informed guidance on current land values across Ireland. Families and their advisors get a grounded, factual basis for decision-making.

Farm Land Values · Development Potential · Estate Guidance

Legacy advice is not just for older farmers. Whether you are approaching retirement or in your forties thinking about the farm's future, the earlier you have these conversations, the more options you have. We bring the same plain-English, impartial guidance we apply to planning and utility matters to the question of your legacy as a landowner.

03

Guided Discussion and Facilitation

Whether it is a one-to-one session to clarify your own thinking, or a structured facilitated family meeting, we work through the decisions in a calm, informed and neutral setting. We refer to solicitors and other professionals when needed.
