What would you do if you discovered your own beach cottage listed for sale online — and you never agreed to sell it? I'm Lavinia, and one Sunday morning I found my daughter-in-law had listed my coastal retreat on Realtor.com as a "family estate, motivated seller" — complete with professional photos she paid for using my own credit card.
