[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've worked in elder law and see a lot of people aging out of their homes, which remain vacant while they're living and in a facility or wherever ... and then by the time family inherit it, it's fallen into severe disrepair, and they can't afford or aren't inclined to fix it up, but hang onto it for sentimental reasons or because they won't accept a reasonable market price based on its condition.[/quote] See this frequently in Arlington. Eventually one of the heirs wants or needs the money and cajoles the others into selling. I have also had homes kept in good repair and children honor parents’ wishes not to sell until they die, even if they moved to a retirement home. [/quote]
