Felice Kirsh was quoted in an article by Gretchen Drummie entitled "Will Power - Problems can arise over who gets the family cottage", that was included in the 2012 Legal Resource Guide, published in January 2012 by the publishers of Canadian Lawyer magazine. One issue that she notes is that lawyers are increasingly suggesting that parents have a family meeting to discuss how the family cottage will be divided in their estate plan, as the family cottage is a source of a great deal of conflict in estate litigation.
