The late Stuart Hollander has written the first “attorney authored” book for the vacation home owner. This book describes the problems inherent to shared cottage ownership and the concerns of parents who wish to pass it on. After a careful analysis of the pros and cons of different shared ownership arrangement, the author outlines his preferred method to help families preserve this valuable asset for generations to come. Using the stories from families he has worked with and clear graphic illustrations for the legal concepts involved, the book is reader friendly and informative. Although Hollander uses the term “cottage,” the principles of his book apply to any property that a family wants to retain, whether it is an Adirondack camp, an Upper Midwest cabin, a Western ranch, or an ocean, lake, or riverfront home. Written for the vacation home owner but with information that also will be useful to attorneys and financial planners, the book engages the reader with stories of cottage “wars” and planning gone awry. Narrative examples and easy-to-follow graphics illustrate the more technical aspects of succession planning for a vacation home. The book makes a complex problem understandable and offers methods to help keep a second home in the family for generations.
