(1) The answer may very well change depending on what state you're in.

(2) You really ought to ask an estate planning lawyer in that state.

(3) Often, what may seem to you like small details may really change the result.

(4) In Louisiana, last I checked, we still have just a little bit of forced heirship (i.e., under limited conditions), and I suspect that such conditions could not be placed on the forced portion, where there is one.

(5) Otherwise, I suspect that such a condition in a will or trust could be valid unless a court decided it was against public policy. And although there is nothing so idiotic that some judge somewhere hasn't ruled that way, I tend to suspect that insofar as prenups can be valid under the jurisdiction's law, and insofar as keeping a family business in the family or similar is not against public policy, I tend to think the courts are likely to uphold / enforce such a provision or requirement.

But that's a whole lot of suspicions and generalities on my part--if this affects you, then get qualified legal advice instead of asking the great unwashed, strike that, collective braintrust of the TigerDroppings O-T Lounge.
