her brothers are acting as " management company taking their fees for managing the properties" while she gets her cut doing absolutely nothing. Honestly this sounds like shes very greedy and entitle .

[@norcofreerider604]

It's hard to say without more details but in general I agree. She is in another country doing nothing and getting a passive income from it, while they are there managing repairs, evictions, getting new tenants, etc. It's not reasonable for her to expect a 1/3 share because she is doing 0% of the work.

[@lgrrf]

​@@norcofreerider604 From the call I would say that she doesn't expect 100% of her 1/3. But 15-20% of the 1/3 seems too low. Also, she suggested separating the properties. So, she wouldn't be the "greedy person collecting passive income generated by the hard work of her brothers". They refused and one doesn't even answer her calls. I think this is pretty obvious.

[@emmyty]

Can she manage the properties from where she is? Does she want to? There will be a price for her choices. If they are doing the work and bearing the responsibility to manage the properties, they should get more.

This situation shows why it's a terrible idea to own real estate with anybody who isn't your spouse. If you jointly inherit some real estate with a sibling(s), sell it ASAP and divide the money, or buy out their share from them and take full ownership, or have them buy out your share.

[@MaxGrey03]

I wonder if there is much more to this story. We are only hearing one side and do not know what the laws are in Argentina or exactly how the properties were to be split amongst the family members. One thing that caught my attention was that the caller left her family and moved to another country, the remaining family continued to work the properties. Now the caller is upset that they don't send her enough money.

[@megalodon1726]

But the brothers are also living in a couple of the properties rent free (properties in which she has partial ownership) so that should also be considered.

[@heenakaur7330]

That should not deter them from giving her the fair share. If they really felt she wasn’t contributing they would give her what Is rightfully hers and let her manage her share of the property. This is very greedy on her brothers part whether she manages or not. They needed an excuse period.

[@ibarix]

That should be figured in and they would be paid a fee agreed upon by them all.

[@The_Food_Police]

What sucks is that there should've been a formal agreement drawn up. Sounds like she was living in the US, and the brothers were physically managing the properties. Technically, I'd say they deserve a larger portion of the profit. However, it also sounds like she was just accepting whatever money they were giving her, without asking questions. Weird situation. The moment she became an adult, she should've starting looking I this, but it just sounds like she didn't really care that much in her youth and now wants her fair share in old age.

[@leanderrowe2800]

She should count her blessing that her brothers kept sending her money even though 1) unlike her brothers, she has not been there to care for her parents and 2) again unlike her brothers, she did zero work on those properties.

Be on your guard against all kinds of greed; life does not consist in an abundance of possessions.” 16And he told them this parable: “The ground of a certain rich man yielded an abundant harvest. 17He thought to himself, ‘What shall I do? I have no place to store my crops.’ 18“Then he said, ‘This is what I’ll do. I will tear down my barns and build bigger ones, and there I will store my surplus grain. 19And I’ll say to myself, “You have plenty of grain laid up for many years. Take life easy; eat, drink and be merry.” ’20“But God said to him, ‘You fool! This very night your life will be demanded from you.

I talked to my father about this issue and he agreed that it was a messed up deal, so instead dad gets paid back and checks for the rest of his life, but it ends there.

The brothers are the greedy ones, she said she gets 15% of what would be her fair share (1/3 if evenly split). For managing the brothers should be compensated or they hire someone to do it and split the costs. But her brothers already live there rent free, so that’s compensation too.

[@joeh2401]

Very common in that culture for this to happen.

[@15dpwright]

She is actually getting the correct amount. Her mother owns 50% and the three siblings split the remaining 50% which works out to 16.6%. I think maybe the issue is that her family isn't being upfront with the documentation and that makes her nervous and mistrustful. It is better to address that but she is getting the correct amount.

Walk away, and write a book about it!

[@ebutuoy5088]

Duh. You can't trust anyone

[@doc4153]

I wholeheartedly disagree with the idea of deeding it over to them.

[@TheSejonger]

Have them buy you out.

[@bobcat1960]

Why would you deed it over to them when you are getting money? So, if I can’t have all the money I think I’m entitled, I’ll just not take any?? Also, are the brothers managing these properties? It doesn’t sound like she is. If they are actually doing the work, then it her payment % might not be that unfair

[@marjoriedunlea2700]

This is it family and friends are simply just all backstabbing haters

[@Jajaky]

yes, her brothers are doing all the work, but they still have the same amount of equity. they should be paid more for their effort, but it needs to be agreed upon, and written in a contract

[@PInk77W1]

The brothers have no reason to pay her If she is absent and has no power to Use the legal system

[@kekejefferson9219]

I don't want to do that. I love that!

[@davinasquirrel7672]

Given she really does not need the additional money, not worth fighting for it. Just keep taking the lesser share. Walking away and giving the brothers the properties, seems like a losing suggestion.

[@hedwigdevine9053]

She needs serious counseling to work through her resentment. Then she see clearer.

[@genxx2724]

Putting everything on the table and equalizing it will do wonders counseling can’t.

[@fkillah]

Maybe if she can step back and see that she’s leeching off money without working she wouldn’t be such a greedy parasite

[@naca1553]

I’m pretty sure life is not as good in Argentina and she is doing well

[@Jakkaribik1]

Leaving the Brothers all is not the Right Answer

[@hellokitty8552]

Something’s wrong with this lady. Legally yes she’s entitled to her 1/3 but being in America means she’s absentee and hasn’t taken care of the properties at all. It’s a lot of work. When you hire someone to do it, it’s a full time job when there are issues. When it’s just collecting rent, it can be a part time gig. But no one can do this overseas. Being that she’s doing okay here, personally I would let 1/3 go. But for her, if the brothers can let her cash out, I think that’s already more than fair.

[@SRK-I]

They think she is rich because she lives in the US.

[@adr8nalin92]

They should sell all properties and split it equally

[@radfoo72]

"I should be getting More money even though I have done no work for it" All I hear is a self entitled 14yr old🤣 Maybe if her name and amount owed via inheritance were Specifically written in her Father's will- however this case isn't that clear cut. This is somewhat of a he said/she said battle🙄

[@marnarenteria4203]

Yep. Just because Argentinian law says she inherits the property equally with her brothers, doesn't automatically mean that she should receive 33% of rental proceeds, does it? Dave never made that distinction.

[@radfoo72]

@@marnarenteria4203 Goverment forcibly takes our money via the tax system while we're living and then they also get to decide how it's divided when we die? The government be damned😂 I'll divide my money however I see fit and on that note I sure won't be moving to Argentina!

[@akosiamarillo]

Being in the US, those brothers and the mother thinks she is already well off. This happens all the time in this situation, but it is not about the money or properties, it is about fairness.
