[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Been there done that in our extended family. In hindsight it would have been a far better strategy to sell the beach house you own OP. Explain it is due to financial hardships and go back to staying in your dad's house when you visit.

Your dad is going to be convinced by your sister that it would be so great if the sisters each have a house by the beach so they can stay close. So yours will be paid for by you, while your sister will inherit the beach house.  Guarantee this will happen if you keep your house. [/quote]

Yes.

And what nobody has mentioned yet on this post is that there is a certain ratio at play here.  Old men and (not so old?) women.  Your sister's presence may be helping everybody's inheritance a lot more than you realize.  Do you really think Dad wants to do his own laundry and eat at the diner alone?  That could be a $2M problem.[/quote]

Your post is forcing me to disclose my sister is in fact a lazy slob. She is not his caretaker by any stretch. And another thing, she’s not there more than us, we actually have a home nearby. It’s just her visits are more frequent and now sometimes secretive. And again, her and BIL’s demeanor is that they own the joint. Even if the inheritance is split equally it’s bothersome that she and broke BIL think and act like they own it.[/quote]

So wait, she’s a lazy slob who is getting her act together enough to oversee renovations…hmm. Okay, Op. [/quote]

Try again. Sister is directing them. Not paying a cent.[/quote]
