Q: husband & brother inherited beach property at Ocean Lakes in SC one wants to sell the other wants to buy him out.
husband & brother inherited beach property at Ocean Lakes in SC one wants to sell the other wants to buy him out. we lease the land so it's not real estate because it's a camper with an addition built on to it (house) and a golf cart/storage building. It's worth $170,000. Brother has never paid one bill on the property: not any lease payments, water bills, electricity, etc. Will the brother have to pay back husband half of these payments?
Brother vacations there more than husband. husband has kept a running record of all payments and any money for rent income. can brother say he doesn't owe half of expenses because he's been wanting to sell or will he have to pay one half of the expenses? we have only rented it out about 10 times and the rent does not come close to equaling out the expenses.
A: I suggest that you post this in the SC section of the site, right now you are in the NC section and most lawyers cannot legally give advice outside of their state.
