[QUOTE="Shadowrider, post: 2003231, member: 3099"] Maverick, I can kind of buy into your concept, but what you are really talking about is a commune. I'm not aware of one that's made it. BB, GC and SMS have spelled it out that you are far better served to finalize the group first. All need to agree to some "bylaws". Right from the get-go you are doomed to have serious issues with the land ownership. Tenants-In-Common or Joint Tenancy? Owning the land as Tenants-In-Common is the most "fair" (in a manner of speaking) but everyone would be free to sell their share to anyone they wish which doesn't suit the purpose of the group and would be a continuous headache. With Joint Tenancy it all goes to "the last one standing" which would put serious trust issues in the minds of the members of the group. See where this leads? Like SMS said, form your group, get legal advise and a signed agreement amongst the members in place first. Then go build it together. If this were just a shared hunting camp I could probably get interested. But as for a bug out place, while the concept is fine, making it actually work harmoniously is damn near impossible. Edit to add: One way to avoid issues with the land ownership would be to setup a trust and deed the land to the trust. Structure the trust to the purpose of the group, decide who the trustee(s) are going to be, who their successors are or how to appoint them and how to delegate their authority. Then set each of the group members up as equal beneficiaries. At least this would get you past your first hurdle of the land ownership to a large extent. Again you would need to do this in advance if you want to be successful. Then you can deal with the myriad of other issues you are going to face. [/QUOTE]
