Ditto, Been there done that. My dad and I farmed together for 25 years, handshake arrangement. At one time had $150,000 borrowed together on cattle and machinery. This was in the 70's. When we decided to downscale, we sold what we didn't need. I didn't ask for my half of the proceeds, as I had a good job and knew they needed it more. We had an agreement as to what land and equipment was mine. Well when my dad died, my only dead beat, dope growing brother moved in and took over. I came home one day and he had a cattle buyer in giving a bid on the cattle, many of which I had bought and had registration papers on. Well I put a stop to that. Once the idiot mouthed off and said about my dad, " I'm glad the basta*d is dead" Then when I found the farm bank account empty and closed, my mother told me that my brother said "I would steal her money"
I lost my whole family in a few months time. Funny how money and greed takes over.
Haven't talked to them for 5 years now.
Keep your chin up.
My brother and his next ex, have 6 marriges between them. She had her name on his part of the land immediately. They got married about 3 weeks before the deal was done. She'll end up with it.
Hope some of the younger ones read this and learn to get everything in writing and under the direction of "their own attorney" Spend the money and get it done right.
Cost me 25 years of labor and half of 314 acres.
You know though, I came out ahead. Got to spend lots of years with my dad and I wouldn't trade it for anything.
