I once drafted an appeal before the US Court of Appeals having to do with THE RULE AGAINST PERPETUITIES. In a nutshell the law DOES NOT favor ruling from the grave or methods by which real estate can be controlled (like keeping it in the family as OP desired) for years and years after the death of like the Uncle or Mother in this thread.....
Per Wikipedia The rule against perpetuities is a legal rule in the Anglo-American common law that prevents people from using legal instruments (usually a deed or a will) to exert control over the ownership of private property for a time long beyond the lives of people living at the time the instrument was written. Specifically, the rule forbids a person from creating future interests (traditionally contingent remainders and executory interests) in property that would vest beyond 21 years after the lifetimes of those living at the time of creation of the interest, often expressed as a life in being plus twenty-one years. In essence, the rule prevents a person from putting qualifications and criteria in a deed or a will that would continue to affect the ownership of property long after he or she has died, a concept often referred to as control by the dead hand or mortmain.
Its a great thought to keep property in the family and indeed it is possible when handed down generation to generation BUT IT CAN BE DIFFICULT OTHERWISE and requires quite a bit of complex legal wrangling (yet still subject to challenge)
Regardless, the question posed by the OP can not be answered here by lay or even professionals absent thorough research but hey its fun to read differing opinions to see what people think of such topics. As Ive often noted any Electrical or Legal question draws out more opinions and responses then any other and as an electrical engineer and attorney I enjoy them and love to participate.

Today's Featured Article - Hydraulics - Cylinder Anatomy - by Curtis von Fange. Let’s make one more addition to our series on hydraulics. I’ve noticed a few questions in the comment section that could pertain to hydraulic cylinders so I thought we could take a short look at this real workhorse of the circuit. Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power. There are many types of cylinders that one might run across on a farm scenario. Each one could take a chapter in
