Yes i am one of the daughters, no my brother would not farm it at all, its too small to make anything out of it and he has no interest in it.
I really think over a number of years he would sell it off.
If i got the land, i would actually try and keep it for my kids so i like the idea of getting something for them and letting him take the rest.
Thank you for your ideas at least it gives me other options.
Its a horrible subject talking about wills but we should do it so to avoid rows afterwards!!
My father does not want to spilt the farm so that is why he thinks giving it to my brother is the only way !
Can we assume you are one of the daughters? Would the son farm it if left to him (full or part time)?
What would you do with your 14 acres if it was split?
Could you sell a portion e.g. 10 acres in individual plots that is suitable for development, spilt proceeds between the sisters and the son keeps the remaining land?
Or else come to an agreement that the children of the sisters each get an acre to build on when they are older, son keeps the remainder.
