[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My parents did the same and they are deceased so my brother and his family are living there now.   My other brother and I don’t care.  We have done very well financially while our brother has not so it’s nice that our parents could help him directly.  Also, neither of us live anywhere near there and have no desire to have the house.

Just to clarify, your brother that lives in the house got "everything"  -- you and your other sub didn't get an equivalent amount of money or other assets or help with a DP or something along the way?  'Cause it would take a lot of doing "very well financially" to not be a little hurt. [/quote]

DP but I would have been okay if this had happened in our family.  Alas, we had to sell our parents' home and my grandparents' land to care for my parents in the end.  I understand why they did not offer for my brother to build a house on the land when he was in the market, but do think that may have increased the chances we could've kept the property. They were very focused on "equal equal," which I think is a good thing in the abstract, but doesn't always work well in practice. [/quote]
