      I have zero contact with my family (I'm the white sheep.), so the multigenerational part would have to come from her side of the family. Otherwise that makes perfect sense, seeing as how that was the norm for most of human history.

      Or with any descendants you have from here on out. Build it.

      It's funny you should mention that. I'm deeply passionate about long term, open-ended projects. (ie, marriage, children, food forest's, beekeeping, infrastructure, estate planning, etc. To be honest, I'm just fascinated by anything with a long contextual time frame.) #LongNow

      How do you confer on your children and grandchildren the importance of these things though? Of keeping land and the homestead within the family? Of using the past as a guide to the future?

      Instilling it from birth with one designated heir who controls the entire estate, prenuptial agreements their spouse and all subsequent heir spouses sign, designated roles for non-heirs, and linking the family empire to a traditional religious organization to cement principles.

      I couldn't agree with you more. As remarkably stable as primogeniture is, it sometimes has a tendency to create resentment, jealousy, and infighting. Just because you teach your children how important the above is doesn't mean that they'll care.

      As for the prenuptial agreements: What would they cover in this case? What would the potential roles be for the non-heirs? Would they receive any of the estate, or perhaps an annual stipend?

      Look to the Japanese family systems, the ancient Jewish inheritance systems, the organized inheritance laws from around the world. These are common or were common in every culture as a vehicle for the transfer of power and wealth instead of tearing everything up into equal chunks

      And scattering the family system into the hands of every kid to start over again from scratch. Or giving it all to one favorite who squanders it on selfish materialism. You raise everyone from both to work together knowing the heir will control all but also provide for all.

      This has been the mechanism in nearly every world culture for our entire history until post-industrialism. It can work when paired with strong religious faith to provide morals and incentive to adhere to service to the family and loving one another instead of selfish hedonism.

      Plenty of people will say this could ever work. But it has worked for millennia. We carefully undid everything supporting it because it’s better for banks if generational wealth burns away but it can be brought back and used again because it has been shown to be the best system.
