    What is a fair way to split up fariming assets to siblings

    it’s not really about value, no one is looking to cash in here. It’s more about cost to live here. If we are splitting things up a bit then it seems fair that we cast off on equal terms, Built them their own house a few years ago suitable for full retirement. None of us will be moving from...

    What is a fair way to split up fariming assets to siblings

    What is a fair way to split up fariming assets to siblings

    indeed. I am not worried about sibling being more wealthy. We are both incredibly well of (on paper) and have many irons in the fire for a decent retirement based on 10 years of planning. my only issue is whilst I seem to pay a lot of tax I don't see much £££ in my account!! Luckily my partner...

    thanks for the feedback. No one plans to sell anything, been in the family for many years. The valuation does reflect the current market value of the houses, yes. My Gripe is, over the last 8 years ive been restricted in doing the place up slowly, where as my sibling wasnt concenred by...
