I have my own reasons for wanting to be like your DH's father, but I also don't want MY emotions to drive impractical decisions that have no relevance for my children and grandchildren.
I firmly believe your best option is to leave your property in a trust that sells it ( if it turns out that you don’t need the funds ) and divides the money among your children and grandchildren as you wish. You are assuming you will not need the resources represented by this, a big assumption.

But since you aren’t going to do that, getting advice from a “cottage law “attorney in the area is a second best choice I guess. You are indeed making an emo decision.
