Estate planning tips, tax considerations, and legal insights to help you pass down your family cottage without the conflict.
For many families, the cottage is more than just a piece of property — it’s a place full of memories, traditions, and emotional connection. But when it comes time to pass it along to the next generation, things can get complicated.
