[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]“Sharing” properties is nearly always a bad idea - especially if relationships are already strained. My parents have a property (no house on it) worth a LOT of money (but it also takes a lot of work to manage (think big farm)). I have no interest in it. So it will go to my brother. It’s their biggest asset so it may not be equal in the end but the property means a lot to my brother and he’s been working with my dad for a decade to learn the ins and outs of irrigation, farm leases, etc. At this point, I feel it would be unethical for me to lobby to get part of that. I’m just happy it will stay in the family and I know it will bring my brother a lot of joy.

Do you really want to own two pieces of property jointly with a family member you don’t get along with? I would say no - most likely it would need to be sold because you can’t agree on basic decisions. Take your one piece of property and appreciate that one. Or buy out your sibling. [/quote]

Actually the siblings have gotten along--it's our parents that couldn't agree on things. [/quote]
