[QUOTE="1982vett, post: 609054, member: 7795"] That doesn't necessarily solve all problems amongst siblings and in many cases causes more. Most parents can't see past treating all their children equally which means everyone shares and shares alike. Even if pre-planning for the fateful event is done, he still ends up having to find a way to pay off his siblings. While he has worked, and scrimped and busted his butt to make a go of the farm, about all he has accomplished is earning his brothers and sisters that couldn't wait to fly the coup a grand inheritance and a large mortgage for himself. I realize the big corporate type family farms usually have insurance policies and might even issue stock to their owners. But in the end, even if his share becomes larger thru stock grants from Mom and Dad, he is still earning an inheritance for his siblings. Sounds a bit greedy, but that is what happens. The farmer/rancher does the work, foots the bill and takes whatever everyone else lets him keep. [/QUOTE]
