Concern: our family has a cabin, homestead, hunting land, farm or second home: how do we protect this family legacy and move its use and enjoyment into the future? Problem: various sources and forces threaten their very existence: the nursing home and Medicaid (MA), estate taxes, family divorces, creditor and bankruptcy issues, taxes and operating expenses, unequal resources of owners, the in-laws and use and enjoyment equality. Answer: we will provide real-life solutions and explore four paths to resolution that will solve our problems without driving the family apart or sacrificing the family legacy asset.
