COTTAGE LAW - PRESERVING LAKESIDE ADVENTURES FOR THE NEXT GENERATION!     

Sharing the family cottage is becoming problematic as sons, daughters, blended families and grandchildren try to deal with a myriad of issues - everything from the logistics of scheduling summer weeks at the cottage to who is responsible for decorating decisions and maintenance.  Even more distressing is the financial responsibilities associated with transferring a cottage from one generation to the next.  If a succession plan is not in place, this real property asset can create a huge tax bill when the current owners pass away.  To address these issues, Estate Planning and Taxation Attorneys Richard W. Arnold and John M. Prelac have collaborated to develop a niche market within the Estate Planning Practice Group called Cottage Law.  Northeast Ohio professionals owning or sharing a second home on the lake should who would like to evaluate their current situation and discuss the complex tax and the legal considerations associated with establishing a Family Cottage LLC, should contact the experienced Cottage Law attorneys at Day Ketterer who understand the nuances of this unique estate planning option.
