Pele, who lives in a common law state, would like to make his brothers and sister part owners of the large farm holdings that he has acquired. Because the holdings operate best as a unit, he would like to keep the individual holdings together. His siblings have different needs, so he would like to give them variable amounts: 10% to Ramon, 25% to Felix, and 18% to Juanita. Given Pele's goals and situation, what is the most appropriate way for him to title the farm holdings for his siblings?
