Sister Short-Changed in Estate Settlement? | Part 1

[@72Dexter72Manley72]

This is Wild. My mother passed sway a year ago. My older brother is disabled and lived in her house with her. Until she passed. My brother asked if i wanted the house sold so the money could be split. I said no Man, you live there, the house is yours as far as i'm concerned. If you cant afford to pay the taxes on it, we can figure something out. My Mother would roll over in her grave if she knew i was trying to sell that house for the money. Instead of making sure my brother had a place to live. Could i use the money, yep. But. Some things are bigger than money.

Money is the root of all evil, you don’t know what people might do for money 💰 it’s happened to my family, it’s not easy , I had a friend who was being cared for by strangers , none of his 8 kids he had raised even visited him , yet when he passed away they all showed up one by one with their attorneys 😂 demanding to know what he’s left behind etc …. Money is dirty , it’s evil ….

[@onegreenenvy]

They kick out the grandson that was living in there to give to another grandson to use as rental income? Awful

[@anndeecosita3586]

My grandparent’s neighbors did that after a death. A lady who had lived there with her grandmother all of her life because her mother died when she was a child. Grandma died and the aunt kicked her out to rent out the house and make money. The house was paid off.

[@basicallyno1722]

@anndeecosita so did the woman living there ever save her own money to go live on her own? Was she a part of the family or just someone that got to live there? Was she special needs? A person isn’t entitled to live there because their mom died as a child. It seems they let the older woman live there until she died….why should this other woman live there for free or fixed rent? And the aunt is supposed to pay taxes on that and then pay for the upkeep of the home? Homes are expensive and they require maintenance. Aunt was just supposed to pay for that out of pocket so some woman could live there comfortably? They let the woman’s grandmother live there until her death…that’s pretty fair enough.

When my mother’s brother died his kids started suing left and right, especially over some property he owned in LA. Their family got torn apart. Learning from this, my mother put a clause in her trust stating that if anyone were ever to sue, that person would be disqualified from the trust. Smart woman, my mother was.

[@ImOnAJourney]

Awful. I went through it. We’re “over” it now, but it took a few years for the attorney to convince everyone that nobody got screwed. It’s become a barely boiling pan of water on the back burner, but it was boiling over on a front burner for a couple of years. And I say “over” very loosely because it will never go away. It’s like the old toothpaste analogy - once you squeeze all of the toothpaste out of the tube, it’s not going back in the tube.

The fact that there was no appraisal and that the Defendant's wife was on the deed makes me think something shady's going on.

I am the youngest of three. When both our parents passed, all assets were to be divided by 3. They had it stated in the trust/will that if ANY of us contested this, that person(s) would receive $1.

Even without that clause, they raised us with great moral compasses and would be extremely disrespectful to legacy to squabble over money. No matter what amount. We miss them every day!

They can onde the papers are signed and done. It honestly just sounds like the plaintiff is angry that she's not getting a share of the money from the renting, but can't sue for it because she sold the house. Her movements are cocky and like she's always in the right.

[@k.robertrichardson6779]

I'm pretty sure she just hates her sister-in-law and can't stand that she is now a part-owner of the mobile home Dad raised them chitlins in. She wouldn't be making such a fuss if some white-trash girlfriend of the son's were on the deed with him. It's personal.

[@brianal7143]

It's almost a guarantee it was not sold at market value. They didn't have a realtor, more than likely no appraisal. The father just gave his wife and son an investment property for pennies 💁🏾‍♀️. I'd be upset too!

[@jeffreyclinard2002]

@@brianal7143 That’s why I made it the crux of the case. If it was sold for pennies, she has a case. So do the other beneficiaries. If it was sold for fair market value, she has no case at all.

[@runningawayvagabond5876]

And this is why you have a current will. JJ mentioned something about the estate not being worth enough to go to probate so this would suggest no will. If there was a will in place this family would know exactly how dad would have wanted his estate distributed. And a house for $7,500.-??? In my area you couldn't get a contractor to build your kid a tree house for that. Actually, you'd be hard pressed to buy enough land to park your car on for that unless you REALLY went out into the sticks to get it. How bad was this place?

The house is not worth $7500. It’s probably worth hundreds of thousands. The ant sold it to the sun for very very cheap because it’s a family house. But the wife moved in on it so that they could all make a business out of it! That’s the problem. It’s like if your grandfather gave you his classic car and instead of driving it, you sold it to an antique dealer or rent it out for Uber.

The brother is shady he had the house sold to his son, so that way, he still got some of the money. Plus his wife is on the deed that way, he still has some control over the house. Because if him and his wife both bought it, his money would've come off the purchase price. Unless they agreed on a lower price to make up for his part of the inheritance.

She mentioned she agreed to the son getting the house for himself, not personal gain off the grandfather passing. It was under false pretense.

[@TheAmtwhite]

Because she was entitled to her portion of the full selling price/market value of the house if she hadn’t agreed and she didn’t agree with the understanding that someone else was going to make money off of it.

[@jedimasters1462]

Nah, she's just greedy. She can't get the full value since it's already sold and she can't negate the deal without proof it was indeed false pretenses, which is currently just a he said/she said thing. She has no proof beyond her own words so she's now trying to get more of a share from the sell than she should.

[@jeffreyclinard2002]

Assuming the house was sold at fair market value and the plaintiff received her correct share of the proceeds, I tend to agree. If those assumptions are incorrect, I'm much more interested in the case.

[@cutejaners]

It's definitely worse when it's family. But when my parents and aunt sold my grandparents' house, the man and his wife gushed over it and said how excited they were to raise their family in it.
