His grandfather’s property was handed down to his grandmother when my grandfather passed, and more recently to him and his sister when his mom passed. Each time a member of the family passed, they had to sell a portion of the ranch to pay the inheritance taxes. The net effect is that they now own 1,200 acres and are in jeopardy of losing that.
