Kubikian, Esq.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">When people own something of sentimental value,\u00a0they are sometimes unsure of how to pass it down to their family for future generations to enjoy. This is especially the case with a vacation home or camp that has been in the family for years.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">Example:\u00a0You own a beach or lake-front vacation home for years in a now sought-after area. You have seen your children (and grandchildren) grow up there and recall memories of watching sunsets over the water, roasting marshmallows over a campfire, and teaching the kids how to swim. It may be difficult to think that this home will be sold out of the family when you die and would like to preserve it for enjoyment of generations to come.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">How can you best insure this property will be there for future generations to enjoy (and at times cohabitate), as your family tree grows or in future after your passing? <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">Who will be responsible for paying the Insurance? Taxes? Repairs? Maintenance? Fees?<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">Who decides which family members or friends use it and when?<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">What impact would future divorces or bankruptcies have on the property?<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">How can you protect the property from a Medicaid spend down?<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\"><span class=\"s2\"><!--more--><\/span>While all of your children enjoyed the vacation home or camp growing up, some may no longer live in the area or use it on a regular basis. Other relatives may also like to use the property when it is not in use. If you leave the vacation property as part of your estate and divide it among the children without thinking of the particulars, the risk is that the joy will be replaced with future disputes about the future and use of the property. Some of your children may not want to pay to maintain an asset they rarely use. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">Those that do want to keep it may not be able to afford to buy the others out. It can also create sibling squabbles when it comes to its use, cost of repairs or allowing non-family members use the property. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">To alleviate your concerns, there are a number of Estate Planning options you should consider for the transfer and management of a vacation property.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">You can always transfer the property to one of more children during your lifetime, or leave it as a bequest upon your death. However, this \u201cdirect\u201d or outright gifting strategy comes with many risks and potential tax implications. Since no one can predict the future, your family\u2019s vacation home may become a part of future divorce proceedings, bankruptcy, lawsuit or probate. Without proper planning, a vacation home may need to be sold to pay for long-term care costs. The asset may now also be counted for purposes of college financial aid. Worse yet, due to second marriages or death, the house may be inadvertently inherited by in-laws and not stay in the family. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">There may be a better legal solution that might work for your family. Several options include:<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">Co-ownership.\u00a0Ownership among family members\u00a0could include being tenants in common or joint tenants with rights of survivorship. Risks above may still apply, especially if siblings do not get along.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">With the property held in trust, it may be sheltered from future divorces, an unforeseen bankruptcy, a child who needs public benefits, becomes disabled or in case of their unfortunate death, while simultaneously keeping strategic tax benefits. After your death, the property could continue to be managed within the trust. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">A Limited Liability Company (LLC) can own the home and would be managed by its members or an independent property manager. The rights and responsibilities of the members are spelled out in the LLC operating agreement. An LLC can contain specific provisions on the use of the property, sharing of costs, and the transfer, inheritance or selling of member interests. An LLC helps centralize the management function for the property.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">Any structure for ownership of vacation property should account for the possibility that eventually, the family may no longer want to own the property, it has become cost prohibitive, or receive an offer that they can\u2019t refuse. Whether it be a modest cabin in the Adirondacks, a beach house along the Jersey shore, a condo in Florida, or a ski chalet in the Swiss Alps, a plan needs to be in place.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">Here are just some of the questions that families should answer when deciding on a structure for transferring a vacation home to future generations:<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">1.\u00a0Do family members get along and want to keep the vacation property in the family? If no one is interested in keeping the property, it could simply be sold after your death.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">2.\u00a0How should siblings pay for regular maintenance and expenses of the property? Should there be a property manager or will each person pitch in to help with routine and emergency repairs, cleaning, yard work, winter storage, etc.? How are real estate taxes, insurance and utilities paid for? What about remodeling or improving the home or other structures on the property?<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">3. How will time at the vacation home be scheduled? Will everyone fit or will each sibling get a certain number of weeks?\u00a0Is scheduling time first-come, first-served, rotational or do families \u201cdraw straws\u201d for popular times? <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">If your dream is to keep your cherished vacation home in the family for years to come make sure you have created a plan.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By David A.
