If its for a better life of course, I wouldn't want our children to hold on to land or things if they could use the monies for there dreams and a better life. Not to be or sound cliche, but money doesn't get you a better life generally. I am not talking about the person who has struggled to obtain basic necessities all their life then falls into some money that lets them live comfortably. I am talking about the people who are low to middle income who dream of winning the lottery thinking that it would change everything, the reality is that it wont change that much. Great the bills are paid now what? You want to fly around the world and go to a bunch of different countries, ok we can do that in a few months probably somewhere around 20k, now what? The bottom line here is that money is just like a vehicle, a gun, a house, food, having a ton of it doesn't just give you a better life. You still wake up the same, you still eat the same, This doesn't apply if you struggle for food, and if thats the case PM me, I will send food.

In a new york minute I would. You only get one go-round on this earth, and whoever died and left you the land couldn't care less what you do with the property. If they were a decent person at all, they'd want you to do whatever benefits you best with the land. Sure proud you're not in my family....in fact proud I don't even know you !!!

Taken out of my hands by my own advise. Told dad years ago to put it all in trust and that's probably the only thing he ever agreed with me on. This is what is happening for my children

Currently dealing with this situation...not inheritance, but long standing family land. I'm gonna do all I can to keep it in MY FAMILY! May seem moot to some of you, but round here, it's a standard that most live by.
Act like a blank, get treated like a blank. Insert your own blank!

What is a better life? Generally I would say no to the question. Don't wait until you're dead to pass on a piece of land. If you hang on to it, and you happen to get to the point where you need Medicaid they will make you spend everything you have before providing any assistance, and no, you can't just give it away really quick at that point. They will go back 5 years and demand blood. If you pass on property before you die at least you can sort of guide the direction it goes. Plus, you get the enjoyment out of seeing someone else use the property. There are ways to structure trusts and other conveyances that help insure your desires are followed. I gave away some property a couple of years ago. It has given me a lot of pleasure watching people having a good time using the property.

yes I did it , was not easy but I bought my grandparents farmhouse when I was 19, when I got sick, I was 53 and new my wife could never take care of that big old place even thought I completely remolded it , so I build a small house on land that I had bought years ago, that was 7 years ago and I'm still here . and I would not change a thing, I did try to sell it to a family member but no one wanted it Absolutely. I bought my farm, not family land. Have sacrificed blood, sweat, and hundreds of thousands of dollars to make this place a home. Have 155 acres. House is 7 tenths of a mile from the road. I tell people all the time that it cost a fortune to live this poor. Lol. I have 2 daughters that I would not trade for anything in this world. Unfortunately if something happened to me my family would spend everything trying to keep this place up because they would have to hire help. My wife's instructions for when I die is to call a real estate agent first and then call the funeral home. Just turned 50 and one heart attack deep. Always wanted to die here but reality is kicking in.

Seen quite a few family ranches get sold in CO late 70's and into the 80's. The land got to valuable. Guys were selling out in CO and buying land in TX NM AZ WY so could keep ranching. Many just retired. I noticed hardly any who sold out to retire or work a job for wages, stayed close. I have always thought the reason for that was regret.
