[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am the executor and the house is probably about 40 percent of the estate. We haven’t started probate yet as we’ve trying to give sibling time to sort themselves out, grieve, figure out job…

Sibling seems to think parent would have wanted me to leave home available for as long as needed. I’ve been trying to be reasonable and don’t want to have to evict my sibling, but by the same token, having this hanging over me and my family is stressful because anything could go wrong with the home, and we’d have to then deal with it. I’m just ready to be done with this and move on. Is a year too short? [/quote]

One year is plenty long enough.  Move forward with a sale or buyout.

Mom passed April 21. I thought I'd be in the house several months clearing it out. Sister pressed for sale. Within 30 days we had a large waterfront home cleared out, painted the rough areas, cleared out the garage, talked to 4 realtors, listed for sale, got 3 offers and sold the house. It was a shock to my system and and the last week I stayed at the Hampton Inn finishing things up as their was no furniture in the house.

It can be done.

Who is paying the utilities and paying to prep the house for sale?  Who is paying for lawncare and upkeep?  Is he paying rent to the other siblings?[/quote]
