[quote=Anonymous]I'm sorry for your loss.  Losing the last parent is an especially difficult time.

I would just do actual repair work that is needed for the house to pass an inspection.  Nothing cosmetic other than a good cleaning.  Adjust price accordingly.

As you are learning, dealing with siblings after the death(s) of parents can be very hard, both emotionally and otherwise.

I would assume that you will not get any money out of this sibling for the family home - not now nor in the future.  As mentioned, keep records of your communication to the stingy sibling and adjust any proceeds accordingly.

You should also get ready for changes in the relationships among you siblings.  As you've already discovered, some may pull away from the family like this brother has.  Maybe it's just a temporary grief stage but it might also be an indicator of things to come.  He may pull away from the family entirely.

So sorry you are dealing with this.  Be sure to take care of your own grief and loss while trying to manage the estate.  Been there, done that.  I know it's hard. [/quote]
