I did some Googling on living trusts and it seems it avoids probate and the
cost and taxes of that. That seems good. Also seems that the paperwork can
be done without a lawyer or much time form a lawyer.

I guess for me it's finding an heir. I should have another 20 to 30 years in
me. I'd like to have someone identified and living here in 10 years. There
is a good building site in the woods with a drive to it. Would be a good
place for a starter cabin.
