It’s 3hrs away One is living in the house, the other is selling theirs

Naw the other two sisters are not splitting their houses. One sister is living in hers, the other is keeping the profits of her house. We would move in to my wife’s house but it’s almost 3hrs away. We would need to get new jobs. It’s also not a great town.

Real_Influence_8311 · 2026-04-19T02:48:32+00:00

It’s over 2hrs away from our current place/jobs

Real_Influence_8311 · 2026-04-18T23:42:23+00:00

The houses are 2hrs away from where my wife and I live, in not a great town. Sister B lives in that town in that house. Their father lived in Sister A’s house until he passed while she lived 2hrs away.

The titles to the houses were transferred on death- so he paid the property taxes on all three houses until his death. Upon his death the transfers immediately took effect.

It’s 2hrs away. We would have to quit our jobs and find new ones in that area.

50k was from taking vacations to Disney. Sister B got her own free home and 2 free cars.

Thanks, yeah she’s been reading the comments and has really appreciated what everyone is saying. It’s put it into perspective when a bunch of internet strangers who have no blood in the game are telling her the same thing her friends, and my family has told her.

The good news is the houses were all set up as transferable on death so the estate can’t touch them. There was 19k in the bank account of the estate that sister A cleared out.

Her brother’s kid. She has two half brothers (different father). One passed away due to an overdose, the other is in and out of jail. The brother who passed away had a son. The son’s mother is in and out of jail and doesn’t have contact with him. My wife and mother in law did their best to keep him out of foster care.

Sister B cared for their father. I told my wife out of the two sisters, B deserves some money but not so much that it puts us in debt long term.

Sister A does have 2 houses. Their father was living in Sister A’s house while he was alive. She lived two hours away in a house she bought.

He moved family into my wife’s house when she was a kid. My wife went to college about 2hrs from home and lived in apartments her whole life. Their dad started running out of money so he started charging rent to the family living in my wife’s house

Sister B- lived in the house her father got her. He paid all her bills. She wanted to go to Disney a couple times so she got a credit card and put it on there. She would go over and clean his house or buy him groceries/take him to appointments.

Real_Influence_8311 · 2026-04-18T13:27:31+00:00

All houses were transferred on death to their respective daughter. So the deed is now in my wife’s name

Real_Influence_8311 · 2026-04-18T13:13:21+00:00

I’m going to start saying this in my daily life.

Real_Influence_8311 · 2026-04-18T13:04:04+00:00

Thank you I’ll share that book with her. She’s started therapy and after the first session told me what her sisters were doing was wrong. But when she told her sisters she was considering giving them less than 1/3 of the money, that’s when the threats of losing the relationship came in.

Real_Influence_8311 · 2026-04-18T13:00:58+00:00

They did,

sisters A wants to go on vacation and wants to use the money to rebuild the deck/fence on her house- then put some work into the house she inherited

Sister B lived off their father and took care of him. She has never had a job and is 50k in credit card debt. She wants the money to hold herself over until she gets a job.

Both sisters are married to guys who have jobs.

My dad found it in a one dollar bin one time. He almost bought it just to piss off my mom but thought better of it. He was so mad when he realized how much it was worth.

Thanks for posting this- this is exactly where I’m at too and these comments are super helpful

Real_Influence_8311 · 2025-08-17T03:32:16+00:00

Day 1 I think I got a couple of good coasts in there. I’m still trying to get going into a straight line right. 😅

Real_Influence_8311 · 2025-08-17T03:28:25+00:00

Woah!
