What would you do if??? Need some input guys
Here's the background. When I was married and we lived in San Diego, we got close to my ex-husbands aunt and uncle. She passed away while we were there and it was a very hard time for us. They loved our kids and we spent a lot of time together. Now Mitch (the uncle) is 90 and trying to decide what to do with his business and property. He wants to give it to one of his relatives to run to keep it in the family. No one wants it. So he has set up a trust and all kinds of legal paperwork leaving the property in the control of my former father in law and two of Uncle Mitches brothers. When I was visiting with my ex he told me about all this and I told him it was too bad that we weren't together because I would love to run it. He told his uncle that and now Uncle Mitch wants to talk to me. As I understand it, he wants me to come live in his house and I would run the business....part of which is an upscale trailer park for retiree's only with a seasonal rental section that he rents out to firefighters during the fire season, etc.
I would of course get a salary and as I said, live in the house with the utilites etc paid by the company.
The bad part is that if one of the members of the family gets a wild hair they could conceivably come in and evict me and take over. I of course would want to have it written into a contract that I would have to be given 6 months notice, etc.
The good part is....it gets me back to Cali, I have a free home to live in, income in addition to my retirement pay and it gives me a chance to decide for sure where I want to go...with some security.
What would you do? It's only me....my daughter is moving away so I only have to worry about myself at this point.
