Cherise, I feel for you. I have been where you are before, and I am back there again. When I was young, I lived with my Grandparents. My Grandpa was stricken at age 57 and started a slow decline that lasted 25 years. He was a great man I loved he and my Grandma dearly. I stayed with them for years, helping with the farm, and helping Grandma with my Grandpa daily. I learned, laughed, and cried with them. If I could I would do it all again. For me it was never about money, but about keeping them and the old homeplace together. They had paid for the small farm through the depression, lean years and loss. When my Grandpa died, and Grandma was failing, she wanted to keep things intact. There were only two children, my father and his sister. Grandma wanted to leave her money and personal goods to the sister. The farm would go to my father. The deal was fairly equal. The sister lived far away, and gave lots of trouble. My father wanted Grandma to leave it an equal split, which she did, but warned of trouble. When Grandma got sick, the sister "came home" because she was deeply concerned. Took over the house, made plenty of comments about Grandchildren had no say. This sister took all the loose goods Grandma had. Took the tractor and tools, small Ferguson etc that Grandma gave me. The 57 pickup truck Grandma gave her other grandson, this being the sisters boy. Sister came on to our place and stole anything old she could find. Lived in and trashed Grandmas old house. Just before the sister died, she sold the old house to her husbands relatives. The sheriff wore out a cruiser visiting them. Fast foward to today, My father in law has died, my mother in law is fastly failing. A neighbor boy is kissing up to her at a fever pitch. My parents are both failing too. My father is a loose cannon. All of the have the Its mine I will do what I please attitude. And I guess that is correct and ok. But all come round with their hat in hand for doctor visits, projects, and many other things. I still help, and do as much as possible, but sometimes it is difficult when dealing with these situations. But I have said all of that to say this. Now that I am hugging 60, material things have lost some luster. John T. and others have given you good advice. Find a good unbiased lawyer, have him study the deeds, etc. Then follow his advice and your heart. And more importantly learn from all of this. I loved the line, "give from a warm hand". May we all who have something to share pass it off while we are living. That way we are assured it will happen. In our state, more wills get lost, more deeds fixed it is criminal, or should be.

Today's Featured Article - Choosin, Mounting and Using a Bush Hog Type Mower - by Francis Robinson. Looking around at my new neighbors, most of whom are city raised and have recently acquired their first mini-farms of five to fifteen acres and also from reading questions ask at various discussion sites on the web it is frighteningly apparent that a great many guys (and a few gals) are learning by trial and error and mostly error how to use a very dangerous piece of farm equipment. It is also very apparent that these folks are getting a lot of very poor and often very dangerous advice fro
