My husband has had several older family members pass away, and he has been the executor (or helped his mom who should never have been named executor) on several of them. The attorneys have told us that estates that are all money are way easier to do than those that involve farm land. Even if you give each one the same amount of acres, some acres are better than others. If you try to divide it by production value of the land, so that all get about the same potential for income, then those who don't understand farming get all bent out of shape.
When my dad asked me what I wanted out of his estate, I told him that I wanted him to live long enough that his last nickle put him in the ground. If there's anything left, I would be happy with whatever he thinks I deserve. Both him and his wife about fell out of their chairs.
It was not the response my sisters gave......"I want this, I want this, I want this....."
