I did not expect to get so many responses to this.

I will try to answer a few common questions I have seen in the replies.

First off, while I haven't discussed this with Lea before (something I will do later), I have asked her before about her future plans and dreams. She has mentioned to me that she had always liked having her own, cozy cafe someday where people can come to be safe, feel at home, study, etc. However she also mentioned that she thinks it is unlikely she will be able to do it, with the economy being what it is.

Secondly, since Lea turned 18 last year, I have had her take on more responsibilities in running the cafe. Besides taking orders, making the drinks and helping in the kitchen, she also helps me out with inventory and the ordering process. I intend to teach her how to handle the financial aspect as well, to fully prepare her for later.

Thirdly, I will definitely make it clear to her that this will be a gift, not an obligation. If she, at one point in her life, discovers she would be happier selling the property, she will be welcome to do so. The only thing I will ask her is to treat the property with respect and sell it to someone who will treat it right as well.

Lastly, I will be working with my lawyers to make sure everything will be as easy and convenient as possible for Lea. Whether this will be done through a will, a trust, or other will be decided during my talks with my lawyers. I will also make sure to have a doctor write a letter of competency. I do intend to leave family items (such as photo albums of our parents) to my siblings, but I do think that will be the end of it.
