Making The Best Of It

As we wrote last week, our families’ first simple plan to live multi-generationally did not work out.  We had worked hard on that plan for over a year.  [You should just see two attorneys and husbands try to design a perfect retirement home on a narrow lot - and then add the research to learn that downsizing would not save any money anyway.] 

We still wanted our families to be able to help each other more easily and find a truly convenient office for our shared law business.  But we were tired of thinking about it so long, with ‘nothing’ to show for it at the end. 

And we still wanted it simple, without merging our addresses or figuring out some kind of fair bill-splitting agreement. 

Patricia and her husband decided it wasn’t worth it to stay in their house, now that Ed and Priscilla would not be closer.  Instead, they bought a great lot in Minooka to build their dream home on. 

It was not much farther away from Patricia’s parents, and it would mean that driving by Priscilla’s house would literally ‘be on the way’ to almost any Plainfield office and had other advantages they really liked.

Patricia’s family could move in with her parents just while building their new home.  Any babies that might finally show up during that time would have four loving adults to dote on it at home. 

Multi-generational family plans are as varied as the families who want to make multi-generational teamwork easier.  To consider your own family’s possibilities, please call our office at (815) 436-1996 for an appointment.  ©2012 Gruber Law Office, Ltd.
