[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is the law, the parents’ original intent as indicated by the deed, and then what is best for long term harmony - and it’s possible none of those is fair.

No one is entitled to an inheritance. While it’s true that the parents’ “investment” in the sibling’s home has panned out well that is mostly luck and timing and is also unrealized gains. The parents could have left that money in a savings account or blown it on Trump NFTs. Claiming an equal portion of the gains seems greedy. Forcing a sibling to move also feels greedy. If I bought my home today, my payment would double!

I think the non-homeowner sibs need to take whatever hangups they have about the homeowner sibling’s success to therapy instead of blowing a ton of money on legal fees out of spite and losing their family in the process. Therapy is expensive, but in an hour for hour basis it is cheaper than a lawyer.

I get it that the final outcome may not be fair or equal. It might not even result in each sib getting every penny they are legally due.

How many total siblings? From the wording, at least 4. The homeowner, OP, and “siblings” = 2 or more. 
How much was the original investment? What is that amount, divided equally among siblings, minus however ever much you are about to blow on legal fees? 
How much are your family relationships worth to you? Is the money enough to lose a relationship with your siblings and your children with their cousins? Over money? [/quote]

The sib relationships are done for due to House Sib's naked greed.

Can't "buy" a good relationship with such people.

OP, will the executor hire a lawyer? [/quote]
