[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DH's parents died a few years ago. One of his siblings took up residence in the family home during the last years of their life and afterwords as a pseudo caregiver but also lived for free most of the time. After their death DH and the other kids let the sibling continue to live at the residence but they all remained equal owners on paper. The sibling just assumed the mortgage because they could afford it at the time. Fast forward and sibling can no longer afford it (neither can anyone else) and wants to sell and is trying to get the other beneficiaries to sign over the property and forfeit their share. Everyone has different priorities and financial situations. WWYD?[/quote]

The answer is in your question.  He is trying to get the others to.forfeit their.shares.  Theirs, not his.  After the.parents died he.paid the mortgage but got.to.live.in the house so that is a wash.  Sell the house and split the.proceeds exactly.like it says in the will.  If he thought he had a valid.monetary claim for.the.value of.care services he provided he could have made that claim after they died.  Now.its several years later and too late.  The other sibs owe him nothing more than an equal share.  He isn't.entitled legally.r.morally to.anything more.[/quote]
