[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The ownership issue is complex. My grandma passed away just over a year ago, and now my step-granddad still has quasi-ownership, along with the six adult children of my grandparents. (I mean, he has no legal ownership, but no one is kicking him out/taking away his key.) He's not there all the time. All of the adult siblings (my mom among them) have equal ownership (so, cousin's parents, too), but no one lives close enough or wants to step up enough to be THE OWNER. The maintenence/taxes still come out of the estate...[/quote]

Then all 6 adult siblings need to be aware of the issue, the liability, the danger, reminded of the cousins son lost for an hour, and the current issues even if just through a mass email that describes the situation and asks for input on some ground rules. Could you help your mother start this?

Hello all,
I am writing to ask for some suggestions to make sure we are all safe at the lake. Like all of you, nothing gives me more joy than seeing my family together having fun. I miss mom every day, I know we all do, and hope she is looking down on us enjoying her home and knows how grateful we are for the beautiful home (**skip the god part if it's not your thing**).

Since we have so many beautiful nieces nephews cousins and grandchildren now, I am getting more and more concerned every year about the kids' safety with the lake and the house in general. I'm sure none of this will ever forget the fear when Timmy was missing a few years back.
I am thinking that setting some parental guidelines would help. My ideas are below, please give me some feedback or add some of your own in.

1. No kids outside under 5 without a parent 
2. No kid under 10 outside without a parent and without a life jacket 
3. Adults are to be responsible for only up to 4 kids
4. Parents have to verbally ask another adult to watch their child

(**or whatever, these are just some examples from my cousins place)

Please let me know what you think
