I have been attending quite a few funerals in the last few years for some older friends that are farmers. I have noticed that these families were close as any family can be but when the parents both pass and everything was left to multiple kids at first everything is ok then within a year problems arise and one thinks they deserve a part of the farm or one wants to sell and other members do not and it starts alot of confussion among family member. I also witnessed first hand experience with my Grandmother. There was 6 of them 5 in which wanted to keep the family farm and 1 that left and went to city and never came back. The one sister that left after 2 years decided she wanted to sell the land but the others did not want to long story short in va it appears if it was not left to one child in particular the court makes everyone sell the property and split the funds. I have been thinking what I should do when my kids become adults. I am seriously thinking about splitting my property up and assigning a person to what i want them to have. I do not want my family fighting and bickering over who gets what. What do you all think about that idea?
