Agriculture & Rural Estates
At Adams & Remers we’ve seen our clients through over three centuries of agricultural change. Our exceptional track record means that we’re the first port of call for many farmers, land owners and rural organisations in the UK. Our Agriculture & Rural Estates team delivers effective bespoke services that meet the diverse needs of our clients.
We have considerable experience of how landed estates operate and of the management, taxation and devolutionary issues that they face, including those arising where estates are owned by a series of complex trusts which lead to complex taxation questions, such as agricultural property relief and inheritance tax issues.
We are also highly experienced in dealing with the diverse range of property law matters arising in landed estates, including manorial rights, landlord and tenant issues, unregistered land, agricultural tenancies, development agreements, planning issues, easements and property disputes.
