I don't know that this is the place to post this [View all]

But I feel like this fits in a way. So I grew up on my family farm in southwest Missouri. My great great grandparents homesteaded the land. My great grand parents built the house I grew up in. It is a beautiful 4 story brick house with a lot of land attached.
My father whose family it was that homesteaded the land died almost 10 years ago. When that happened my mom set up a trust for my brother and I. It said that I get the house and land surrounding and my brother gets the land down the road that has the school house my grandpa went to and the land surrounding that.
So between us (my brother and I) we have hundreds of acres of land.
But my mom is considering selling all of it. Which to some degree I get because she lives there all by herself now. But at the same time I can't imagine anyone else living in that house. Do I have options since it was put in a trust?
Part of the problem is that I'm married to another woman and Springfield is a cess pool of gay hating people. And my wife is a minister with no prospects out there because of that.
I'm just really trying to figure out options righ now. Any insight would be great. Thank you.
