Our former neighbor inherited the house of their parents when both died. There were 7 siblings who are the heirs of the estate. Three of the siblings live elsewhere and 4 are living in the inherited house. The 3 siblings who are living elsewhere wanted to sell the property so the proceeds can be divided to them. However, the eldest sibling who lives in the inherited house refused to sign the deed of sale. And then 2 other siblings sided with the eldest so there were 3 who wanted to sell, 3 who do not want to sell and 1 neutral. They consulted a lawyer who said that the issue should be settled among them. It is a domestic argument and it is not proper for the court to intervene. What the lawyer meant was for the siblings to file a court case there would be expenses to be incurred which is not really necessary. What happened next was 2 of the siblings who were living elsewhere died and then the eldest who is living in the inherited home died. The rest of the siblings did not care anymore and until now the house is still there being occupied by 2 youngest siblings.
