It depends on the logistics.

I assume the mortgage is greater than the "We Buy Houses" people price, so a traditional sale and its attendant commission is on hand.

If the friend can unload the condo at no cost to the rest of the estate and keep a few grand from the sale, I don't see why the family would object so much or even care.

If the friend giving the condo back to the estate (refusing an inheritance means it just goes to the next of kin) means that some cousin's inheritance goes from $5,000 to $0, I can see why the rest of the family might object to this. If it means the cousin's inheritance goes from $350,000 to $345,000, I can still see why the family might object but they've got less room to object.

Of course this is the perfect junction of:
1) Younger folks needing a place to live can't afford the mortgage.
2) Older more established folks don't care.
3) Someone near retirement may not want THAT condo. 
4) Someone wanting an investment property may not want THAT condo.

Your friend should see an attorney. [/quote]
