[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am thinking now about this and I am realizing that it is very unlikely the siblings will agree to be bought out. A similar things happened with the whole apartment - my siblings refused to sell it, to buy me out or to let me buy them out. As a result I had to buy a separate residence because my parents’ apartment has become unlivable. All their stuff is still there and I have nowhere to put my own things (much less my children’s). The oldest sibling is very dominant and has strong hoarding tendencies. They would either take the artifact for themselves or (more likely) pressure the middle one to stop me from taking it. They want to keep everything in the apartment and the apartment is untouchable.[/quote]
So, leave it where it is then. Unless they agree, you can't take it. [/quote]

but I can actually take it.[/quote]
And your siblings can seek whatever legal remedy they are entitled to. [/quote]

but they are not going to do it. they would lose the artifact + sibling. i could have legally forced them to sell the apartment but didn't.[/quote]
They might. If you take the thing, they haven't got it anyway and they might not care if it makes you angry. If you are not legally allowed to have the thing at all, they can cause you a world of hurt. You had only said that you could not sell it, which is not the same thing. [/quote]

I am not quite sure but I think I would be ok. Artifact’s origin is country B. Some people extracted it there and eventually gave it to my mother as a gift (long story but nothing illegal) in a country A. I don’t think we can legalize this but I find it unlikely that we would have to return it to country B ( countries  A and B are often at war).[/quote]

Are you just making this up as you go along? because it kind of sounds that way. [/quote]
