Management and transmission of equine assets – Secure your holdings in the horse industry

Identify the components of equine assets

An equine professional’s assets may include:

  • Sport or racehorses (market value, genetics, performance)
  • Breeding rights (stallions, mares, straws, embryos)
  • Agricultural or commercial Facilities (stables, land, arenas)
  • Shares in operating or enhancement companies
  • Ongoing contracts (boarding, training, co-ownership, syndication)

Each element must be identified, assessed and legally secured.

Anticipate transmission – Legal tools and strategies

Equine asset transmission may be considered:

  • By donation or inheritance (with or without dismemberment)
  • By transfer of shares or horses
  • By business transfer (sale of business, merger, transformation)
  • By joint ownership or creation of a holding company

INSCIO Avocats helps you:

  • Choose suitable legal tools (shared donation, Dutreil pact, joint ownership agreement)
  • Optimize transmission taxation (allowances, agricultural exemptions)
  • Preserve continuity of the operation or stable
  • Anticipate family or partner conflicts

Secure daily asset management

Good asset management involves:

  • Drafting clear contracts (co-ownership, enhancement, leasing)
  • Implementing adapted governance (articles of association, shareholder agreements)
  • Protecting genetic and commercial assets (intellectual property, confidentiality clauses)
  • Managing risks (insurance, liability, litigation)

 

INSCIO Avocats supports you in the legal structuring of your assets to ensure their sustainability.
