Learn simple strategies to protect your estate. MSRPO Legacy Webinars, Fall 2010.

With no written agreement and little or no discussion about how to share the workload, increasing expenses or time at the cabin, family problems arise. It's no wonder when long-term owners die and their heirs inherit the cabin (many times as "tenants in common") that the good times up north quickly head south. Learn how to avoid common family problems and properly plan for your cabin legacy.</description><language>en</language><item><title>
          Re Vacation Home Rental by Jeff Forester</title><link>http://www.msrpo.org/2010/8/20/vacation-home-rental.aspx#comment-8</link><pubDate>Fri, 24 Sep 2010 08:32:21 GMT</pubDate><guid>http://www.msrpo.org/2010/8/20/vacation-home-rental.aspx#comment-8</guid><content:encoded><![CDATA[ Jordan - agreed.  This discussion began three years ago with a question, "How big a problem is this."  So far they have been able to identify less than 800 cabins for rent in Minnesota, 800 out of 122,000.  As Shakespear said, it is,<br/>
"... a tale told by an idiot, full of sund and fury, and signifying nothing."]]></content:encoded></item><item><title>

It is a hopeless and ridiculous exercise and just another example of governmental stupidity and overreaction to a non-problem. If resort owners want to protect their clients from "dangerous rental of private cabin syndrome" they could try lowering their rents  and presenting favorable packages during times like this, beefing up their activities, and cleaning up their own accommodations  instead.]]></content:encoded></item><item><title>

MSRPO is our best resource to learn more as much about protecting our shorelines, and hopefully, collectively, we can impact change with knowledge of the issues.  Great work.]]></content:encoded></item><item><title>

          Re Zebra Mussels Overrun Minnetonka by Barbara Kimer</title><link>http://www.msrpo.org/2011/8/4/zebra-mussels-overrun-minnetonka.aspx#comment-62</link><pubDate>Tue, 16 Aug 2011 11:20:14 GMT</pubDate><guid>http://www.msrpo.org/2011/8/4/zebra-mussels-overrun-minnetonka.aspx#comment-62</guid><content:encoded><![CDATA[ Isn't it time (or way past time) for legal action such as an injunction mandating that the DNR quarantine -- or at least barricade all but a few designated, and monitored, accesses that would have mandatory decontamination equipment on each infested lake? The potential devaluation of lake property values and massive reduction to the tax base of many MN counties and townships is one of multiple reasons that would support such legal action. <br/>
<br/>
Can MSRPO in conjunction with MN Waters and other lake associations initiate such an action? Would petitions to this effect help convince those in power that such action is politically possible?                                                                          ]]></content:encoded></item><item><title>

And has it not been been observed in Europe and some U.S.lakes that after initial high densities  their populations diminish to below nuisance levels?]]></content:encoded></item><item><title>
