Should Limited Liability Companies be treated any differently than any other landowner when doing conservation deals? Are there any special steps that need to be taken in terms of due diligence or stewardship? And what about revocable and irrevocable trusts?

Dan Cline and Ellen Fred will join us on the next Ask An Attorney call to explain these types of land ownership and answer your questions about them. Dan is a partner with Cline Close Dyer PLC in Midland and serves on the Board of Little Forks Conservancy, as well as other nonprofit organizations. Ellen’s law practice focuses primarily on land conservation transactions and nonprofit tax issues. Both are active supporters of the conservancy community in Michigan, and we are very pleased that they can join us once again to lead this important Ask An Attorney call.

Submit Questions: Please submit your questions for Dan and Ellen by Tuesday, March 30. Send them to julie@heartofthelakes.org. Submitted questions will be answered first on the call.

Call-in number, pass code, call-in protocol and other instructions will be provided once you’ve signed up. Please note that the call-in number is NOT toll-free.
