Expert Cottage Law Attorneys
Dan Penning is recognized as the expert in Cottage Law and helping families realize their goals of saving the family cottage. A complete cottage succession plan provides practical solutions to the intricacies of complicated problems associated with preserving the use, and enjoyment, of your family cottage for future generations. When you exercise the succession options available to you and your family you are able to protect what's important to you, the family cottage.
Even though many attorneys claim they do "estate planning", it doesn't necessarily mean they are qualified to perform the skilled and insightful processes of cottage succession planning. A solid cottage plan will include specific cottage rules, guidelines for shared ownership, and most importantly, a plan which legally prevents conflicts, and successful title transfers to minimize federal taxes.
