It's not at all unusual for people from a farming background to want to leave most of the farm to one son. I understand the historical reasons for this but it really is morally dodgy in my view, unless that son is actually farming the land and has been doing so for some time. I think your Dad should really think again - surely your Mum is more entitled to control the land during her lifetime than your brother?
In any case, if your Dad does leave all of his interest in the land to one child he is leaving the estate wide open to an Section 117 application by one of the other children, unless the €40k gift is equivalent in value to the value of the farm, which I doubt.
Agree 100%I completely disagree with this. The owners of the land are this man and his wife. It is up to them what they do with it. What is 'morally dodgy' about that?
For the uninformed (ie. Me.) What's Section 117 ? Is it like Area 57 ?As for a s.117, ah come on! Not a chance.
