Some possible plans for Jacob Weizman‘s will to transfer the three farms and the $100,000 to his five daughters in equal shares are the following:  He can establish a trust to hold and manage the three farms with the $100,000 being used as startup or operating capital. The five daughters can be named as equal beneficiaries.  He can transfer each of the farms to the five daughters equally as joint tenants with rights of survivorship. The $100,000 can be split equally among the five daughters.  He can transfer title to the farms to the executor of his estate with the direction that the properties are to be sold and the proceeds, along with the $100,000, divided equally among the five daughters.  He can discuss the situation with his daughters to determine if any of them want the farms and, if so, devise each farm in equal shares to two daughters (approximate value $100,000 each) as appropriate, sell the farms that the daughters do not want and distribute the proceeds, approximating the $100,000 value of the real estate, among the remaining daughters, with any overage, shared by all five.
