I’m trying to find resources for bringing a broken up land interest back together by the time a mortgage comes due in a few years. That is, without having to taking out another mortgage to buy out my aunts, uncles, their spouses and a busload of cousins. Farm succession seminars I’ve looked into haven’t addressed my situation. We had no succession plan. I’d like to deal with that mistake by creating a legal entity that has people buy in, if they’re still interested in agriculture. That is, rather than be bought out as part of a pittance inheritance or right of survivorship. The farm is set up as a partnership by default. More background: I’m from a large family of grain farmers in Kansas. Grandma and grandpa owned the farm, had 10 children. When they passed away, three of them bought out five of their siblings with a mortgage. A bank holds title to the land. The register of deeds shows the remaining five siblings have interest in the land. The three with the mortgage have undivided interest. The other two siblings have 1/10th interest. I work on the farm as about 95 percent of the labor. I don’t get paid. It is my home. My goals: I’d like to become the primary land owner. I’d like it if my cousins and their children could have a nonmonetary interest, even those who lost their legal interest in the land because their parents got bought out. Which legal structure would be most fair to me, but allow others to have recreational access to the land? How can I set it up so the primary laborer in the future can transition to the primary landowner when I no longer want to farm? Is an LLC a good structure for a work-owned farm?
