[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am amazed that more people don't lie to relatives. I would have said absolutely not because we are selling the house this spring.

Then spring comes and you say you found out repairs need to be done so you are hiring someone this summer or you are doing the work this summer.

I would in all seriousness consider selling. It never really works out one sibling or family member keeping a beach house. It ALWAYS leads to some type of resentment from the relatives who don't own the house, but in the past had free rein of going to the beach house and staying. And it sound like a money pit. For all the money you spend you can just rent out a much nicer house. [/quote]

I was just browsing through this thread, and this makes the most sense to me.  I couldn’t figure out why the brother thought he could just offer up his sister’s beach house.  This helps clarify that for me.  He never owned the house, but when his parents were alive, he could always freely use it.  He probably brought his friends there when he was in college, so it made sense to him to offer this up to his girlfriend’s son.  
Obviously, this makes no logical sense.  But I see how, emotionally, he could get there.

I agree that it probably makes sense to try to sell it and buy a different house or use the money to take some other great vacations.
