Derek Jensen built a career helping families plan their estates. But he realized he'd never had the real conversation with his own father about their family's century-old heritage property in Montana.

His father is one of seven siblings, now one of only two remaining from his generation. As an officer of the family corporation that owns the land, he's navigating an impossible balance: honoring the past, serving the present, and preserving possibilities for a future he won't see.

In this deeply personal episode, Derek sits down with his dad expecting one conversation and gets another. They discuss the weight of collective decision-making, what "fair" really means when dividing the indivisible, and the quiet fear of being the generation that lets something slip away. The conversation reveals that even among family, we need to stay open to learning and challenge our own assumptions.

From corporate governance to the local deer, this episode shows why estate planning is never just about assets and documents. It's about identity, continuity, and the profound responsibility of deciding what deserves to last beyond our lifetime.
