Summary
"This book discusses estate planning for family cottages and cabins. It includes advice on how to avoid disagreements among siblings over jointly-owned property, prevent a family member from forcing a sale of the cottage or cabin, keep the vacation home out of the hands of in-laws and creditors, and make a smooth transition from one generation's ownership to the next. This edition reflects current tax laws, including state property tax laws which affect choice of legal entity. It also includes an expanded discussion of legal issues when renting a family cottage or cabin on Airbnb, VRBO, or similar rental services"--
