Laurel, MS asked in Estate Planning, Elder Law and Land Use & Zoning for Mississippi

Q: We wanted to leave our land and store to our grand-daughter, under the condition that it's not sold.

How do we go about leaving the land and the structures on it to our deceased son's daughter in our will (and makes sure our grand-daughter is going to keep it) over our daughter with this condition in place? Our daughter will attempt to take it from her and then sell the land as soon as we are deceased, is there a way to do this?
