[quote=Anonymous]If joint funds are used for ANYTHING regarding this property, it becomes marital property. (This applies to bouncer sibling and other sibling too.)

Of course it's different if say, OP pays for one repair job out of a joint checking account (easy enough to reconcile plus interest in case of divorce) as opposed to OP paying property taxes and other maintenance for years from joint accounts. Also sweat equity counts too - while DH changing a light bulb doesn't entitle him to anything, DH being made to say paint the whole cabin or repair the roof on his own time and not being paid to do so may well entitle him to some share of this asset.

So no matter what you do, set up a separate account in your name only to pay for your share of all things cabin-related. This also protects your husband, and if his concerns are really only liability related, an hour or two with a real lawyer might assuage him.

So if bouncer sibling gets sued to being overzealous in tossing out the wrong person, to what extent is OP liable?

I assume the highest risk there is OP and the other sibling buying out the cabin from the bouncer (or the bouncer taking a HELOC out on the property). I'm guessing that some tossed bar patron can't end up costing OP and the other sibling the cabin. Again, a real lawyer in your real state can help answer those questions.

Also, be honest, OP.

Has this brother always been less than kind to your husband? Like when they were in their 20s, did your brother sort of throw his weight around to "tease" your DH in a way he couldn't really complain about at the time without looking whiny? Has he been kind to your kids (or your other sibling's kids?)

As for bouncer sibling staying there full-time - if he feels desperate enough he may well end up bringing a space heater or very thick sleeping bag. If the cabin's in say SC, it may only get dangerously cold like two or three nights a year. [/quote]
