Karen Walsh: Check out legal situation if you hope to inherit the family farm

I am 36 years old, married with a young family, and have farmed the family farm since leaving agricultural college. 

It is difficult to talk to my parents about handing over the farm to me, but the unwritten understanding is that it will be left to me in my parents’ will.

I am worried that the farm will not be left to me. I have five siblings who are not farming. How can I ensure that my future is secure?
