The property is rarely the hard part. Getting four people in three states to agree is the hard part.
One house, several heirs, and no mechanism for breaking a tie. The classic pattern: one sibling lives nearby and has absorbed all the work; one wants to keep it for sentimental reasons; one needs cash now; one has stopped answering the group text. Meanwhile the taxes and insurance keep coming due, and whoever is closest keeps paying them.
Co-owning inherited real estate with siblings indefinitely tends to go badly. Someone has to maintain it, someone has to fund it, and every future decision needs consensus again. Which is why most shared inheritances eventually end in a sale — the question is just how much friction happens first.
We'll send the written offer to every heir who wants it. Nobody has to take another sibling's word for what was offered.
We won't try to recruit one sibling to pressure another, and we won't relay messages between family members. If there's a dispute, it's yours to resolve.
Our offers don't expire in 48 hours. Families need time, and a rushed decision among heirs is how resentment gets built.
A single cash number with no repair credits or commission deductions is far easier to split evenly than a listing whose net proceeds nobody can predict.
Sometimes one co-owner simply refuses. Depending on your state and how title is held, the remaining heirs may have legal remedies — and there may also be options like one sibling buying out the others. Those are legal questions with real consequences, and the answer depends on the specific facts.
We are not the right people to ask about forcing a sale, partition actions, or buying out a co-heir. Those questions belong with a real estate or probate attorney in the state where the property sits. What we can do is give every heir a written offer so that whatever route you take, everyone is arguing about the same real number.
Send us the property details and the heirs who should receive the offer. We'll make sure everyone gets the same thing in writing.
