Are we not penalising the landowner for doing the transaction another time if the family member who stands to inherit or who would be identified as the successor is still a juvenile or still in school and not in a position to take over the whole thing? I understand the purpose of this. It gives a window of opportunity for people to get their house in order when they might have dilly-dallied about it until now. However, there are people aged 65, 66 or 67 years or older whose children might be only 14 or 15 years of age. A person is not going to transfer a farm to a son who is still in school. Is that window not being closed off?
