Results: Inheritance
An 83 year-old man went into long term care in 2022. He had 3 children and they were all Powers of Attorney for him. His grandson moved into his house shortly after and lived there for 2 1/2 years rent-free until his daughter sold her house and moved in with him. She wanted to purchase the house from him for $30,000 less than fair market value while acting as his Power of Attorney. One of the siblings refused to sell it to her for this price, as you need to act in the best interest of the person you are Power of Attorney for and she knew their dad wanted his property divided equally amongst his children (in the will too), so it did not take place.
Then, when her dad passed away, a house appraisal needed to be done for the will. A renovation of the downstairs bathroom showed up in the appraisal, much to the surprise of her siblings. The house was appraised at $20,000 more than before but the daughter expected to have $21,000 taken off the price for her renovation. When the same sibling as before refused to do this, the 2 siblings settled on a price that included the return on investment for the bathroom renovation.
It took their dad approximately 3 months to get used to long term care without wanting to return to his house. The daughter who is currently living at his house still has not paid for the house (has to go through probate now) and does not want to pay for the house costs for the 2 1/2 years her son stayed there.
One sibling is currently feeling bullied by the daughter living in their father's house.

They all seem to care far less about the passing of the father/ grandfather and MUCH more about their inheritance. Did they visit dad and granddad in the care facility? VERY SAD when relatives fight over money from a relative who has passed. But it happens all the time.

Since the one sibling did renovations on her own, the siblings should sell the house and divide the property equally to someone other than the sibling living there since she hasn't paid anything for the house. I don't think they'll be able to get house costs back for the grandson living there for 2 and a half years other than taking the cost out of his mother's share when they sell the house.

First, NEVER have more than 1 POA...or it leads to disagreement. Unfortunately ALL must agree. The renovation should NOT have been done in the first place without the consent of all 3. It is fair to include the cost of this in the settlement though since it came out of only one person's pocket.

To start with; if there is a will, there is a war. I have just gone through it myself and it can get very ugly, very fast. There are a few things that have been left out of the story, such as the grandson that lived there for 2 1/2 years prior, did he become grandpa's care giver? If so that changes things. I wish them luck.

The two siblings that do not want to live in the house each pay a third of the value to the sibling that wants to live in it and sell their share of it. If they refuse to do so- the property goes on the open market and when it sells each gets one-third of the money. Then if the sibling want it they must buy it in the sale process and will get 1/3 of the value back (less all th elegal costs of sale involved0.

There should have been one executor for their dads estate who would carry out exactly what the will states and act accordingly. My mom recently passed and my brother is the executor of her will and is following my mothers wishes to the exact of what the will states and she had also discussed this with myself and my other brother and sister and we were all in agreeance and there are no problems what so ever, but to have 3 as executors? I think the other 2 siblings need to sit down with a lawyer at this point and come to some sort of a permanent agreement with documents signed so no one else can change things.

The house should be sold for fair market value (whether the one sibling buys it or someone outside the family.) IF the sibling living in the house did the reno, that sibling should get that money back after the sale (or pay that much less for the house if she was the one who paid for the reno initially. If DAD paid for the reno, she owes that amount back to the estate.) Also, fair rental amount should be calculated and the daughter & her son should have to reimburse the estate for that (keep in mind that 1/3 of those funds would come back to her since that rent should be distributed to all 3 kids and that daughter is one of the 3.

When my mom passed away, there were 4 kids, and our oldest sister was put in charge. It was an old house, over 100 years old, which my dad had added to many years ago, more than doubling the size of the original house. The house was appraised for current value, and the proceeds were split 4 ways and divided equally. That is how it should be done. These days, often if there is more than one beneficiary, there are problems! One will often think they deserve more. It is the current way of the world, sadly! Everyone is out to get everything for themselves! I feel the correct way is to have the appraisal done and split evenly. If one person did have upgrades done that increased the value overall, then their costs may be recouped, but no amount of money can make up for destroying the family over something as petty as money!!!

No one should have been allowed to live in the house until an agreement was drawn up by all siblings as to how all updates/renovations/bills/taxes, etc would be handled. Now...since the house does NOT belong to the one living there, she should have to move out until this is figured out and all 3 people who inherited the house will split the maintenance and bills for the house until an agreement is reached. Get a mediator if needed.

I've seen the closest of families turn on each other like rabid dogs over the will of a loved one. It makes me sick. I don't expect any free handouts in this life and don't expect anyone to leave anything to me. I had someone ask me once to be their executor but I said no thank you. I'll stay poor and happy, rather than squabble over money.

Let her buy the house at less than market value because she paid for the reno that increased the value and because she and her son lived at the house to keep it occupied and safe from damage etc.

They should be forced by the courts to go into binding arbutration with the house being sold and the money split 3 ways. The daughter who paid for the renovated bathroom should count the reno costs as rent for the time she lived there.

POA is active only during the life of the person granting the POA. A POA terminates on death. The Executor of the estate should get a couple appraisals and offer it to the sibling who wants to buy at the appraised price. If the sibling doesn't want to buy at the appraised price the house should be listed for public sale.

The house needs to be sold and the money split according to the will. Then the daughter can buy her own house.

First, regardless of who is living in his house the will, hopefully, shows who the house is being left to and if it is to the three siblings to split equally then that is what should happened. And it does not matter that one of the siblings son was living there regardless whether it was rent free or not. This one sibling had no right to want to buy it for 30k Less. She wants to buy the house she needs to split the fair market value three ways. Give the other two siblings there share and finance the rest. Don't know what the actual will says nor what state laws are but that's how I see it

House should be appraised by an independent appraiser to determine fair market value. Daughter gets nothing for bathroom renovation (assuming she did not tell siblings she was doing this. Siblings should offer her not having to pay for house costs the time her son lived there. Daughter should start paying rent immediately, rent to be put in escrow. When probate is done, house should be sold. If any of the three siblings want to buy the other two out, the best offer equal to or greater than appraised value gets the house. Escrow can be divided among the three. Daughter should have no more say in the process than the other two siblings.
