[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]And emotional claims don't matter. np here. Legal keeps the emotion out of it. I'm of the opinion that people can ask -anything- Be ok with them asking (not informing). And others shouldn't be faulted or resented for asking. Just say no. Resentment that they asked, this does the most damage to a relationship.[/quote]

Emotions matter in relationships.  It wouldn’t matter if OP and his wife had sold the beach house to a stranger.  The brother wouldn’t feel he had a claim.  
He feels that it is still in the family and he has an emotional connection.

+1. An emotional claim is valid, even though it’s not legal. I think OP would let brother use the cottage in other circumstances, i.e. a family trip with BIL, new wife, step son together, or really any other thing besides a frat party for that reason, rather than being all “well ACKSHULLY you have no legal ownership so pound sand buddy!” about it.

I don’t know why this has to be some big deal. Unsupervised frat parties aren’t allowed, but he can still visit when it works with OP’s schedule. He’ll get over it. Every snap reaction minor hissy fit that comes along is not worth starting a fight, jeez.[/quote]
