I dont understand why it takes 15 people to sell a damn house. its up to your sister and the realtor



Yup! My mother went through this shite with her siblings when her mother passed away. There were so many differing opinions on what should happen since my grandmother didn't have a will.

Ultimately, my mother, acting as the executor of the estate, listed it with a realtor and the house sold for a damn good price for the town. They split the proceeds from the sale and that was that--despite others' ideas.

Oh, and yea, it tore the family apart. My mother doesn't talk to half of her siblings now. So . . . . good luck?

Then that's what should happen. If you are the executor, you get to call the shots.

Spouses should be there for emotional support. They should have nothing to do with the actual succession though.

What exactly is the point of contention? Does your brother's wife want the property instead of selling it?


Nah, she more or less runs my brother, if someone tells her to stfu, its none of her business, he'll get pissed off and cause more problems.

Spouses have no input, heirs only. The only "say" is the market. It goes up for sale and what is left after costs is distributed amongst the heirs. If someone has a problem with that, then you give them the offer to buy the property minus their interest of the agreed to 3rd party sale. They can then sell it for whatever they want if they feel it is worth more.

The longer it goes the worse it is. Also, the clock has now started on the heirs. If the brother has kids, he gets hit by a car tomorrow, kids are minors, bitch wife is now tutor for minor child's interests, etc., etc. etc. It grows exponentially.

Just get that shite done. If the brother has an issue tell him to get his own attorney. A rational one should tell him the same thing. Just not any associated with the COA of BR.

If the will says sell the property and split the proceeds, your sister (the executor of the will ) should tell your SIL to sit down and shut up and do what she needs to do.

I was the executor of my grandfather's will (grandmother had already passed) and my aunts were pissed about that. No fricks were given. I handed out property that was specifically stated to go to certain people and sold the rest and split the proceeds according to the will. My aunts started out "you should do this " and "you should do that" I shut that down quick. It only takes one person to sell property, not one person , his mom and 3 aunts.

Nah, not really. An old wood frame house that sits on an acre.

Keep the spouses out of it. Legally they don't have a right to any of it until the heir gets his/her portion.

They don't legally ever have a right to it unless the heir decides to donate a portion to them. It is separate property and in the event that the heir dies, it would go to their children or if they don't have any, only blood relatives.

Legally, they never really have a right to it.

Should not be how it is, stay close, get together at holidays and birthdays and look out for each other. There can be fights, disagreements and rocky times but keep the family bonds strong for you and all your kids.

Got it. You seem like just the guy I like to park my attorneys on.

Eventually they still have to sign off on the sale. If it is sold based on appraised value-which the estate will pay for it can be sold and argued that it was done properly but they in the end will have to agree with it or you go in front of a judge to make them sign. It's not a good route to go.

And as the executor she only has to communicate with those direct heirs so if the sister in law isn't an heir all she can do is voice her opinion to her husband (the actual heir)

I would just ignore her and move forward.

Sadly, there's always been a rift in my family that goes way back before I (I'm the youngest) was born. I heard the stories about how this one screw over that one and all that stuff. I stayed out of all the bickering between my other older siblings, because I can only go by what they tell me, I wasn't there when that one wronged the other one. My mom was the only person that kept the family together and now she's gone, there's nothing left to stop the rift now.

This is why even if you get along great with your siblings, you tell your parents to split their crap up in the will or make it clear what happens. I've never understood leaving something like a house to multiple people. How are people that dumb? Ask everyone before you die if someone wants the house, and figure out financially if that is feasible. It doesn't have to be a perfect damn % split. If a sibling is gonna be butt hurt over $5,000 less or $50,000 less on a million or something they will find a reason to be butt hurt over anything. Just split it up before you die, and tell the heirs in your will to be damn happy with whatever you got.

My mom is the executor of her sister's estate that is paying for my aunt's kids 'higher education'. We are talking crap like beauty school, some juco, mechanics school, etc for like 6 kids. What a mess. Good on my mom, but goodness I don't know why she volunteered for that headache.

No they don't only the executor of the will has to sign off. They temporarily "own" the property for purposes of selling it, or giving it to others. That's the entire point of having an executor, so you don't have 20 people giving input into what to do with property.
