If there are concerns with your client such as age, monetary issues, or health issues, you can play this up to get them to take the shares back at no charge and at no value.

The decedent had 5 children, all still living and in their 50's and 60's, although most are out of state and independently wealthy. The children have a desire to keep the property in the family, but none of them can manage the property. They want to transfer the property to the grandson outright, but cannot just waive their interest in the property because there are other grandchildren who would inherit the property along with the grandson.<o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black'><o:p> </o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black'>I am wondering what the best course of action would be to handle this.
