When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

to take over a farm
... is the phrase which comes to mind in this context.
e.g.:
If one son wishes to take over the farm then the parents feel that son would have to have preferential treatment in the division of their estate for the farm to be viable.

Management: Six parents indicated that general financial planning
practices were also important for supporting children to assume the family farm. Personal debt management, building savings accounts to pay children’s college tuition and other expenses, or setting up trust funds
for children were general ways in which they managed finances to provide pre-adolescent children with the financial means to take over the farm.

First, is he or she ready to transfer control or begin to transfer control? Second, is there a successor to take over the farm? Sometimes, the farm operator must discuss the farm transfer with older parents to start the transfer process.

If there is a younger generation who is willing to take over the farm, have you considered whether the farm is large enough to support more than one family income.
