DSTs and Tax Strategies for Landowners

A majority of farmers and ranchers lack an estate or succession plan. Delaware Statutory Trusts (DSTs) are a popular tool to defer taxes and simplify real estate investments, helping landowners access passive income while mitigating tax burdens. On this episode of The Voices of Land Podcast, guests Joe Michaletz, Mike O'Toole, and Cameron Rafati of Discipline Advisors talk with host Justin Osborn, ALC about the benefits of DSTs, such as non-recourse debt and diversified investment options, and share real-world examples of how these strategies have helped clients navigate tough financial situations.
