When the farmer dies, only lineal descendants have inheritance rights to agricultural property.
If there are several agricultural properties involved, the eldest child may choose only one parcel.
The heir is obliged to pay the other siblings their share of the estate (originally only 50% to sisters).
If the father left no son, his eldest surviving daughter inherited.
If a farm or estate is of such a size that several families can exist on it, the father is allowed to divide it among his children; however, this is on the condition that the eldest son or daughter will not receive less than one-half of the farm or estate.
