If you are battling cancer, look into getting onto Medicare and SSDI.
In addition, a condition in a trust that whoever lives on the farm could be "custodian" of the trust. Do you mean custodian and manager of the farm, which presumably is a going concern and producing revenue, or trustee of the trust? If the latter, trusts are usually structured very specifically in terms of who will be initial and successor trustee. A "whoever lives there" trustee sounds like a very unusual and perhaps unworkable plan.
Perhaps you could sit down, separate all the personal issues and just deal with the factual issues, and post again.
