[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. Thank you for all the good suggestions.

I like the idea of setting aside other money I inherit and using that to pay for the minimal upkeep. We aren’t wealthy and this is a really basic cabin; it’s just in a beautiful location and surrounded by many dear old family friends.

The cabin has been jointly owned by siblings in our family for many decades with no major issues. The problem now is that one of my siblings has struggled in life and made unfortunate choices. My husband is worried about the legal implications of owning a property with this sibling. For example, if they were to be sued by someone, could the cabin be seized to settle a lawsuit? I don’t know how this works. I probably need to speak to a lawyer about this aspect. [/quote]

What is up with the sibling? Are they on drugs? Or just bad with money? Whatever the situation may be with sibling, I think you absolutely should talk to a lawyer and figure out a good solution if you want to own it with siblings. Put everything in writing where all three of you are party to the agreement. Leave nothing up to chance. Protect yourself. What happens if you pay for maintenance and then sibling decides to "just crash for a while" in the cabin? And talk to your husband more. Do you normally have a blind spot when it comes to the sibling? Or is husband usually a jerk? [/quote]
