How to Protect the Family Farm or Ranch

From Nursing Home Costs, Children's Divorces, Taxes, and Family Fights

Jayna M. Voss, Attorney at Law

My goal is to create tailored plans for our estate planning and business clients while providing the utmost level of service. I strive to help clients, whether farmers, ranchers, small business owners and individuals, plan for the future and provide for and protect what is most important to them. I enjoy this area of the law because it allows me to work closely with the people I connect with most. I help them realize their dreams for the future, and ultimately, enjoy the peace of mind that comes from having a plan in place.

I was born in Huron, South Dakota, and grew up on a farm near Wessington, South Dakota, where my parents still reside. I know first-hand the importance the farm or ranch plays in the lives of the family. My husband, Shane, and I have three daughters, Danielle, Cassandra and Sydney. In my free time, I enjoy reading, traveling and spending time with my family.
