What rights do brothers who inherit a house have if one wants to buy out the other brothers but the others want to put it in the market?

Answered by attorney Victor L. Waid (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Law Office of Victor Waid
The brothers who want to sell, could file a petition to partition in the probate court and obtain an order to sell the property at appraised value on the open market, at which time, the brother who wants to buy you out, can make a bid for the property owned by the two minority owners. If you are a minority, don't let the brother with the largest interest buffalo you by playing deduction cost games in the offer he makes to you.

How can I limit tax liabilities when inheriting property?

Answered by attorney Brian Chew
Estate Planning lawyer at OC Wills and Trust Attorneys
Assuming your Mom has a living trust and the trust owns the house, you would be better of tax wise by inheriting the house through the trust when she passes than being a joint owner now. If you become a joint owner, you will avoid probate when she passes but may have to pay significantly higher income taxes when you sell the home.
