[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. So much good advice (even when it’s conflicting) in this thread. I don’t have a lot of people I can talk to about this so I really appreciate you giving me your thoughts.

To answer the question about “dysfunctional sibling”: didn’t graduate from HS, works in a job where physical confrontations are not uncommon (bouncer at a bar), has been charged after assaulting unruly patrons a few times (never convicted), but is unfailingly loyal to me and is the most attached of all of us to the cabin [b]and would never accept a buyout due to sentimental attachment. But probably won’t always be able to contribute to maintenance due to cash flow challenges.[/b] I don’t think we’d have to worry about sib living in the cabin, as it has no heat or A/C.

My husband is like, “I do not want to own property with or be legally bound to your sibling in any way,” and I get that. However I think if it’s an inheritance, my husband is not legally bound in any way. It’s my risk to take that everything will work out.[/quote]

I know you want to keep the place, but the bolded is simply a nonstarter, and I can see why your husband would be unhappy about it.  You sibling has to realize that if he can't afford to pay for his share of the cabin, the other siblings need to buy him out.  You can tell him that you will obviously invite him to use it. The alternative is to force a partition sale, and then it's out of the family forever.

Now, as long as you can convince the sibling, and can afford to purchase his portion from the inherited funds, and can afford the upkeep on the property, I think your husband is being a little unreasonable.  He's right that the cabin should not determine his vacations for all time, but he's being unnecessarily rigid.  [/quote]
