About this episode

Jake Oliver discusses the challenges and strategies of keeping family land for over 250 years.

Bonus lessons + a library of insights for legacy minded families: https://dynastus.com/ytletters Jake Oliver's family has held the same land in Maine since 1782. Seven generations, through a war wound, a house fire, and a housing boom that nearly swallowed the land next door. In this episode, we talk about what it actually takes to keep land in a family for that long: the trust structure Jake built for his own daughters, why his father spent decades quietly buying back parcels that had been sold off, and why Jake believes legacy is "more caught than taught."
