[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have to tell you, I wouldn’t care about this at all. If it’s a house that is the home of my sibling, but my parents helped pay for it, I would want to transfer it to them in the easiest way that satisfies the legal requirements of probate or whatever.

I don’t care at all about me and my siblings getting an equal inheritance. I think if people are at the point where they want someone to move to a new house over that, the family was already “broken.”[/quote]
I agree[/quote]

[b]I think any sibling who tries to steal hundreds of thousands of dollars from a parent's estate is a broken person and not one you can have a healthy relationship with. [/b]

The executor has a legal duty to the estate and needs to hire a lawyer. The sib doesn't have to move, they can buy out the estate's share. Or the money can be trued up in other ways. It's only by them failing to reach a fair agreement that an issue like a court order for partition could come into play.

OP, I would not kick the can down the road, this should be resolved now so the estate can be settled. Your parent CHOSE to become part owner of the house and it's an asset of the estate. I am guessing  this sib has always tried to steamroller people, but your parent did not capitulate and merely gift one child a large sum. Respect their wishes. [/quote]

I have a sibling who stole thousands from my parent’s estate by refusing to distribute and hiding valuable personal property. That sibling had shown their true self years before, so it is no great loss to have no relationship with them after the way they handled the estate. You’re better off without people like that in your life.
