My sister got my BIL to see about estate planning. He was wanting to leave most of the farm land to my one nephew who is farming with his dad. The estate planner told them that they should start signing over the farm now, some every year, BEFORE THEY DIE! Got told that if they didn't the legal fight would see it all gone and the one farmer from the bunch out in the cold. They have 9 kids. And yes, there are going to be some hurt feelings.
I too have seen many families torn apart over an estate that really wasn't worth that much.
The one funny one was in our extended family. One DIL's aunt was really greedy and tried being the queen bee even when her mother was still alive. Now mom in here later years only had about 600 a month in SS income. One son in law bought the house from her without it becoming know to the others on the basis that he allow his MIL to live there for life. When she passed right after the funeral the aunt announced that she was taking the house. When her BIL informed her she wasn't and why she actually tired to find a lawyer to sue. Her one brother and other sisters all thought it was hilarious! In a couple of years the wife and I will sign over our farm to one of the kids. Most likely the one up the hill who lives here on the farm. The rest they can fight over.
My MIL's estate is going to be a mess. 5 out of 6 of the kids don't really care. The other one thinks he deserves everything. All 3 homes and all the "stuff". He's going to have to lawyer up to break the will. Should be funny as the rest of the family is going to ban together for one lawyer because we don't really care about her stuff.

Today's Featured Article - Grain Threshing in the Early 40's - by Jerry D. Coleman. How many of you can sit there and say that you have plowed with a mule? Well I would say not many, but maybe a few. This story is about the day my Grandfather Brown (true name) decided along with my parents to purchase a new Ford tractor. It wasn't really new except to us. The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
