In Reply to: parents wanting to almost give the farm away posted by Cherise on August 26, 2009 at 21:26:52:

Cherise, I feel for you. I have been where you are before, and I am back there again. When I was young, I lived with my Grandparents. My Grandpa was stricken at age 57 and started a slow decline that lasted 25 years. He was a great man I loved he and my Grandma dearly. I stayed with them for years, helping with the farm, and helping Grandma with my Grandpa daily. I learned, laughed, and cried with them. If I could I would do it all again. For me it was never about money, but about keeping them and the old homeplace together. They had paid for the small farm through the depression, lean years and loss. When my Grandpa died, and Grandma was failing, she wanted to keep things intact. There were only two children, my father and his sister. Grandma wanted to leave her money and personal goods to the sister. The farm would go to my father. The deal was fairly equal. The sister lived far away, and gave lots of trouble. My father wanted Grandma to leave it an equal split, which she did, but warned of trouble. When Grandma got sick, the sister "came home" because she was deeply concerned. Took over the house, made plenty of comments about Grandchildren had no say. This sister took all the loose goods Grandma had. Took the tractor and tools, small Ferguson etc that Grandma gave me. The 57 pickup truck Grandma gave her other grandson, this being the sisters boy. Sister came on to our place and stole anything old she could find. Lived in and trashed Grandmas old house. Just before the sister died, she sold the old house to her husbands relatives. The sheriff wore out a cruiser visiting them. Fast foward to today, My father in law has died, my mother in law is fastly failing. A neighbor boy is kissing up to her at a fever pitch. My parents are both failing too. My father is a loose cannon. All of the have the Its mine I will do what I please attitude. And I guess that is correct and ok. But all come round with their hat in hand for doctor visits, projects, and many other things. I still help, and do as much as possible, but sometimes it is difficult when dealing with these situations. But I have said all of that to say this. Now that I am hugging 60, material things have lost some luster. John T. and others have given you good advice. Find a good unbiased lawyer, have him study the deeds, etc. Then follow his advice and your heart. And more importantly learn from all of this. I loved the line, "give from a warm hand". May we all who have something to share pass it off while we are living. That way we are assured it will happen. In our state, more wills get lost, more deeds fixed it is criminal, or should be.

Today's Featured Article - Listening to Your Tractor - by Curtis Von Fange. Years ago there was a TV show about a talking car. Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo. ... [Read Article]
