[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Your main complaint is that she is frequently using an otherwise vacant beach house with the owner’s full permission. You could sell your beach house and then compete with her to use your dad’s if that would make you feel better. [/quote]

He's living there.[/quote]

OP, you are getting beat up because it is hard to tell from your description what exactly your sister is doing. Isn't your sister visiting your dad with his permission? Why does she need to check in with you and your brother when goes to visit your dad? It doesn't make a ton of sense. I think it is fine to start having conversations about what will happen to the house when your dad passes so you know everyone's expectations. [/quote]

1. Instead of working to buy her own, she and husband act like they own his beach house.

2. "Calling the shots" like it's hers or as if she's paying for anything, including making dad pay to have something redone to their specifications.

3. Separately, but worth mentioning, maybe this behavior signals she is laying the groundwork to get the house in her name soon (pre-death) or in his estate instead of his estate being divided equally among three siblings.[/quote]
