However, I would consider giving her the greenhouse if that's what she would really like.
Question..... over the years, may I presume you've read the many posts here about borders and property lines?
Our deeded property lines are A,B,C. We only really have one place to put this greenhouse.
Back/side story..... our house is in the middle of her old family farm, we're surrounded by 250 acres and other than our deeded property, the "FARM" has passed to the next generation so now, there are roughly 15 people that own varying percentages of the whole BUT nobody owns 100% of any given acre.
The ONLY place we can put this, puts it onto the farm property. This is my specific issue. She's like her father... "who cares?" Well.... if the farm gets sold, which will undoubtedly happen at some point in the future, NOW it's becoming an issue.... "why do I care (her), I'll be long dead...."
Sigh....
If it were on our deeded property I'd not really care. I do NOT really want to spend any funds to build a structure that is likely only going to cause some issues down the road.
"Why don't you just carve that land out for her and deed it??"
Part of the farm is adjacent to the lake. Part of the farm is adjacent to an old country road. We are near the lake. This land is probably more valuable than the back side of farm. So we ask people, 14 of them, to sign some land on the premium side of the farm to my wife.... and their portion is now on the far side of the farm.
Some might not think that's totally fair...., some might not mind.
Nothing but a can of worms.
Easier to buy her the coffee maker! lol
