[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. We tried that and sibling rejected it. Our last offer was house outright but sibling is insisting on house and equal split of cash which is a bridge too far for some siblings.

Judges just keep doing continuances which is annoying. [/quote]

This seems pretty clear cut that the estate will get 1/2 the current value of the house. It seems like sibling would end up worse off by going to court than accepting this offer. What does the estate’s attorney say?[/quote]

OP, I feel for you.

House outright was a bridge too far and even that was rejected.

Hire an attorney, follow the law in the jurisdiction. Next offer should be relevant share of 1/2 of equity or with them buying out the estate or partition ordered by court.

The relationships are already damaged, so unfortunate.

Your parent has an asset worth probably hundreds of thousands of dollars, they chose not to gift the money initially or to gift the house in the will or to change deed while still alive. It's the will and the state law that govern. Your parents wanted all of you to equally share. One greedy heir should not subvert that. You will never feel close to or trust this person again. No probate court should sign off an an estate with these types of shenanigans. [/quote]
