Farm operations create special estate planning problems. Especially troublesome is the struggle to be fair to all children, those who farm and those who do not.
Difficulties arrive because the attitudes of the children toward the farm may be quite different.
Children wanting to stay with the farm expect to invest a lot of time and effort, initially without having much to show for it. Their feeling then is that because of their hard work, they deserve more from their parents' estates.
Children choosing not to farm may believe that since they did not have a profitable farming operation "handed to them," and must make their own way, they deserve more from their parents' estates.
