Retained Life Interest

Retained life interest is the option to continue to live on and use the land. This proposition is ideal for people who wish to donate the land but do not want to deal with the hassle or emotional struggle of leaving the home they have lived in for years. You may live on the land as long as you are able, while ensuring the land’s future is guaranteed since it legally belongs to Genesis Land Conservancy.

Benefits of a retained life interest:

• Family land is protected for generations to come in the name of sustainable agriculture.
• The land will remain for agricultural purposes and will stay in local hands.
• Donors maintain the right to live on the land during their lifetime.
• The land is no longer included in the donor’s taxable estate.
