What the lawyer said doesnt make any sence to me. If the property was transferred to your family correctly. The timber can be sold for todays prices. You can call the state forestry office and they will send out someone to meet with you. He will give you his opinion of what is best for the property. He will also give you names of timber companies if you want. He'll probly tell you to clear cut it!!
The best thing you can do is to hire a timber company yourself. Check them out before you hire them. GO TO THE LOCAL SHERIFFS OFFICE AND ASK QUESTIONS ABOUT THE TIMBER COMPANY. If the timber company is located in another county, go to that countys Sheriff's office. Call the local office of the Better Business Bureau. Get referrals from the timber company if possible.
Most important issue is. Do you have someone that can count the loads for you? You need someone that can keep up with the timber leaving your property. You can then use that load information to compare to what the timber company gives you when your paid.
Im sure there are some good trustworthy timber cutting operations out there. I havnt found one yet. Fortunately for me though, the next time timber is ready to cut on my property. It will probly be my kids that have to deal with it.
Good luck to you and enjoy the process. This can be a opportunity for you and your family to make some money.

THe only sensible way to go about this is to get a forester. He/she will handle the timber cut process however your family wishes. There are SOOOOO many ways to get burned/screwed when somebody decides to get their timber cut. A forester will save you so many headaches.
DO NOT use a forester that charges a flat rate. Use one that charges a percentage of the overall price. That way the forester is in it for the same reasons you are, which is to get the most out of you property. 500 acres could add to a substantial amount of money for the timber depending on the quality. Whatever you do, at least look into some foresters, most will not charge just to come out and look, then you can decide which forester best suits you and your family's needs.
With 500acres, I would not hesitate to say that their could be at least 150,000 dollars difference between hi bid and low bid from different timber companies.

As several here have already stated-be carefull. My experience of late with the whole lot-from timber cruiser to logger to mill has been very eye opening to say the least!
