Thank you all. Yes, it is crappy (at best).

Candace and Ellie; you have met my husband, and would fully understand when I say this. Suing his sister, no matter their relationship status would be akin to stabbing himself in the heart. He would sooner endure (which he has) 10 years of having his words twisted, my words twisted, insults and lies hurled at him, having his spineless brother call him constantly to whine about this stupid house (that we wish would get hit by a hurricane and blow away), accusations of all kinds of things; while his sister's husband makes himself out to be a holier than thou 'Christian' who doesn't even respect our Presbyterian faith because we don't 'preach the Bible'. He has also (as has his sister) made his living through the Government, but they came up with a scheme to classify their property as 'agricultural' so they don't have to pay the taxes which paid their salaries. Coop also found, on the last statement of the beach house accounting (which B-I-L handles as 'manager') that they have been misrepresenting the earnings on the house. I have the feeling if this thing is audited, we're all in trouble, but I stay out of it. Coop's got so much to handle; the last thing he needs is a wife nagging him about this as well. I need to be a refuge in this situation. SIGH...
