Maslon Attorney Susan Link Quoted in Minneapolis Star Tribune Article "The Minnesota Investor: Avoiding Cabin-Heir Fever"

Maslon Attorney Susan Link was extensivly quoted in the Minneapolis Star Tribune article "The Minnesota Investor: Avoiding Cabin-Heir Fever," which appeared in the October 21, 2007 edition. The article advises Minnesota cabin owners on how to avoid potential issues down the road when the family-cabin may change hands.

Link recommends three key ways to ways to approach the issue:

• If leaving the cabin to more than one heir, always name an executor;


• Consider setting up a family trust to avoid complications that may occur in the case of divorce; and


• Consider forming a cabin limited liability company (LLC) or a cabin limited liability partnership (LLP) to protect the property from issues of liability or divorce.
