Episode 58: Tools to Align Visions When Spouse or Siblings Disagree

by Elaine Froese | December 23, 2025 | Farm Family Harmony Podcast

In this episode, I sit down with Kevin Hegedus, Certified Financial Planner and founding partner of PWM Private Wealth Counsel, for a practical conversation about how to align vision with siblings and/or spouses when there’s lots of disagreement.

Kevin brings years of experience helping farm owners and families sort through the financial intricacies and reach retirement confidently. Together, we explore misalignment between spouses’ vision for retirement and transition timing, and the value of early planning and using tools for transition.

We discuss the 3 key farm transition snapshot points; the difference between equal vs. fair inheritance; and the importance of family meetings, celebrations, and communication. Kevin also brings valuable insight into contingency planning and long-term care for aging farmers.

If you or someone you know is struggling to find alignment with their farm spouse or siblings, this episode is for you.

“It boils down to having those early [planning] conversations. None of us are going to be here forever, so how do we make sure that what we worked so hard for transfers to the next generation properly.” – Kevin Hegedus, PWM Private Wealth Counsel
