My daughter and son-in-law had been living rent-free in my lakeside home for three years. During dinner, my daughter’s mother-in-law spoke excitedly about “the luxury resort our family is about to build.” My daughter smiled and slid a stack of papers toward me: “You just need to sign here so the bank can finalize everything.” I picked up the pen but didn’t sign right away.
