Unfortunately, land is most vulnerable to subdivision, land use change, and being sold out of the family when it passes from one generation to the next. This is often a result of poor (or no) planning. Fortunately, with proper planning and communication, these unwanted changes can be avoided. This guide leads families through a 9-step process to help ensure everyone's wishes for the land are met.56 pagesapplication/pdfen-USVirginia Cooperative Extension materials are available for public use, re-print, or citation without further permission, provided the use includes credit to the author and to Virginia Cooperative Extension, Virginia Tech, and Virginia State University.Extension publicationhttps://www.pubs.ext.vt.edu/content/dam/pubs_ext_vt_edu/CNRE/cnre-121/CNRE-121.pdfwoodlandsestatesPlanningLandowners
