99yr Leases

[purecountry]

Curious to know if any of you have experience with long-term leases, 99yr and the like. Have a chance to wrap up some pasture land with a relative who doesn't live in the area, and has always said it'll be ours as long as he and I are breathing. We'd like to put something on paper, but I want to get some ideas down before we consult a lawyer.

Any thoughts, experiences or words of wisdom?

Even if they be written properly, long term leases can come up a bit ta tha dicey side at best, especially if and when the lessor lays down and yields up tha ghost.Also, Imminent Domain, if invoked, will over ride any lease agreement ya may have with anybody. At least here, anyway.
