In these parts its called "succeding ownership" when a person passes away the farm is willed not to any members of the immidiate family.The land goes into trust to the first "grandchild"of the first born person.For example Pops didnt leave the place to me.He had left it to my daughter.In the stipulation that she leave it to her first grand child.
We have seen this a lot in fact some people who were childless adopt.This practice insures that the farm remains in family blood for at least three generations at a time.This place on that practice has remained in one familys hands since 1838 junoir copey
