[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Bringing this up would ruin a lot of my family dynamics, and so it would never be worth it to me to mention it.

[b]If the mere presence of this solution will ruin your family's dynamic anyways[/b], then it might be worth saying something.  I can't imagine a scenario where you sound reasonable and not petty though.  [/quote]

How could it not?

In my very amicable family, my father helped out my brother by hiring him for certain jobs, paying large bills for his wife's psychiatric care, etc.  We all thought this was good and helpful to my brother, but we would have a different view with this arrangement, and i am sure my brother would have refused it.  It would be fairer if the market value of the house at the time of the parent's death, rather than at the time of transfer, were taken out of the sibling's share.

Maybe the sibling dynamic already is bad and the parents don't care if they worsen it.  Sorry, OP, if this is the case.[/quote]

Honestly, my parents have helped out my sister way more than they've helped me and she doesn't need the help.  It's puzzling to me, but I truly don't care...that's between them. I do fine without the handouts.  [/quote]
