Conservation easements are a versatile tool that allows your clients to leave a legacy for their family as well as their community and the environment. By restricting the use of their land in perpetuity, your clients can protect important conservation values such as wildlife habitat, scenic vistas, and productive agriculture. In addition, your clients receive an immediate income tax benefit and upon death, estate tax savings. Some states even throw in state tax incentives on top of the federal benefits.

Attend this webinar featuring Ariel Steele, Tax Credit Connection and learn whether a conservation easement is a good tool for your clients to leave a legacy through their land holdings.

This session offers 1 hour CE credit for CFP and PACE (CAP).
