Q: Should all siblings STILL split the money from parents house that died if one sibling bought it???
My Grandma died. There are 3 daughters left behind. Some money and the car was left to a great grand child. The rest was left to the daughters. The money got transferred right to them, but the house wasn't set up that way I guess so they had to do some things to be able to sell it. I'm sorry, I don't know exactly what they had to do, but I'm sure you have an idea. One of the daughters wanted to buy the house. They took $30,000 off the price as well.
My question is, is it normal that ALL 3 will still split the money equally after the sale goes through?? Because I believe the one should have to buy the other 2 out wether she's buying it or just buying them out. Either way to me, it should be a but out. So they are splitting 3 ways. My mom does not agree with this and neither do I. It's not my business but I also don't want my mom taken advantage of either. In my opinion they took $30,000 off the price so that should be her share. If they had sold to a stranger theyd have much more $
A: If your mother does not agree, she should use the Find a Lawyer tab to consult a local attorney who handles probate matters to review the circumstances of the house sale and advise your mother of her options. Many attorneys offer free consultations so she can find one to work with.
A:
Probate can be a messy and complex process. There are no simple answers to your question. A more detailed look at the specific circumstances would be needed to determine if the estate has been or is being administered properly. You may want to find a probate attorney who practices in the County where the Case is open to discuss.
Best of luck.
