Protecting the Family Vacation Home for Generations

May 1, 2025

A family vacation home is often more than an asset — it's the place the family gathers. Keeping it in the family for the long term takes more than good intentions.

Options include LLC ownership with a written use-and-cost agreement, qualified personal residence trusts, and cabin trusts that spell out how the property is shared, maintained, and eventually transferred. Each addresses a different piece of the problem — cost sharing, tax exposure, and the very real risk that a future divorce or bankruptcy pulls the property away from the family.
