I agree with Phil.  Sometimes I also ask the clients if they have discussed this plan with their children (especially their son).  Often, after that conversation with their son, or when faced with the idea of that conversation, they miraculously change their minds.  ☺

Importance: Low

This is a VERY bad idea.  But if the clients insist, you could:

1.     Resign.

2.     Use a trust.

I have clients who own a cabin in the san juans and wants it to go to their adult kids upon their deaths, but they also want to keep it in their “blood line” - essentially they don’t want one of their son’s adopted children to receive an interest in it.  Setting my own feelings aside, I am having trouble with how or if one can really achieve this without the express cooperation of their son.  An LLC with an operating agreement that prohibits certain people from becoming members?  They are not trying to prevent those grandkids from using the property, they just don’t want it to wind up leaving the family through the adopted grandchildren, or eventually being shared with foreign descendants unknown to the blood relations.  A life estate in the kids and then vesting in the other son’s biological children once they are adults?  I find this request somewhat repugnant and also do not know the best way to achieve it.

Thank you for any suggestions.
