We have to do a trust because I own part of the original farm in Oklahoma that my grandparents bought. It must go to my daughter, even if I die before my husband. It's not that I don't want him to have it, it's just that it must stay within my original family. He would not sell it to the highest bidder, but his sons would when he dies. So, we have to do the trust since I have property that is separate from the community property with him. At least this is what the attorney said would be the best. It was way more expensive that a plain old will - which of course, we have also. I'm sure it is all worth it - but it sure is a pain in the pahtoot to wade through all the legaleze.
