As agricultural law attorneys in Celle, we offer comprehensive legal advice to farmers, farm owners, and businesses in the agricultural sector. Today, agriculture is subject to a multitude of complex laws and regulations\u2014the proverbial \u201esimple country life\u201c exists only in the movies. The areas of agricultural law are correspondingly diverse, ranging from farm succession and land leases to environmental requirements and government subsidies. Our law firm in Celle has many years of experience in these areas and is here to support you with competent and objective advice.<\/p>\n
Agricultural law covers all legal issues relating to agriculture and forestry. Due to the close connection between different areas of law, special expertise is required. We advise and represent you in the following agricultural law matters:<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t
Farm succession is a key area of agricultural law that is subject to specific rules. In Lower Saxony and several other federal states, the Farm Succession Act serves as a special inheritance law for agricultural businesses. This law stipulates that, as a rule, a farm may be taken over by only one person as the heir in order to preserve the undivided operation; other heirs (e.g., siblings) receive only a settlement payment. Our law firm assists you in arranging your farm succession early on and in a legally sound manner. Together, we plan transfers to the next generation\u2014whether through a will, an inheritance contract, or a farm transfer agreement (transfer of the farm during the owner\u2019s lifetime)\u2014and draft retirement benefit agreements for the transferring generation. We also provide advice on agricultural inheritance law outside the scope of the Farm Succession Act, such as under the general inheritance provisions of the German Civil Code (BGB) and rural property law.<\/p>\n
Court disputes<\/strong>Conflicts within the family over farm succession are unfortunately frequent. We represent heirs to farms as well as heirs who do not inherit in inheritance disputes concerning the farm. Thanks to our expertise in agricultural law, we can seek out-of-court solutions or, if necessary, assert your interests before the agricultural court. Typical points of dispute are the status of a farm, the selection of the heir to the farm and the amount of the compensation claims of the co-heirs. This is where legal advice pays off: Early and sound advice can help to avoid intra-family conflicts and ensure a fair transfer of the farm. We are familiar with current case law and know what is important in farm transfers and inheritance disputes.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t Another area of focus for our law firm in Celle is agricultural lease law. Many farmers act as lessors or lessees of land. We draft and review lease agreements, clarify issues regarding lease terms, termination, or cultivation obligations, and enforce your claims arising from agricultural lease agreements\u2014such as claims for rent or the return of the property in proper condition. Should disputes arise regarding the lease\u2014such as over notice periods or damage to the leased property\u2014we will represent you both in and out of court with the necessary tact and sensitivity.<\/p>\n In the area of agricultural real estate law, we provide advice on the purchase, sale, or transfer of farmland and farmsteads. The acquisition or sale of agricultural and forestry land often requires approval (see the Real Estate Transactions Act) and is subject to specific conditions. We guide you through these procedures, review preemptive rights (e.g., those of the settlement authority or tenants), and draft contracts that take into account the specific requirements of agricultural law. We also stand by your side in disputes involving estates and real estate\u2014such as those concerning rights of way, boundary lines, or retirement rights to farmsteads. Especially when it comes to rural real estate and farm properties, expert advice is crucial to avoiding protracted legal disputes.<\/p>\n Our expertise extends to all other areas of agricultural and farming law.
