My mother passed away a few ago.
My sisters and I are beneficiaries to my mothers estate and my oldest sister is the executor.
My mother’s house has been on the market for 2 months and my sister is intent on selling it.
The listing price I think was on the low side but I was willing to accept it if it could sell quick.
She has informed me an offer has been place and she wants to accept it. It’s 25k less then listing price.
I said I wasn’t really comfortable with it and was met with hostility.
My sisters seem to think selling it to a “young family is a nice thing to do”. I am of the opinion my mother would prefer we try to sell it for the highest price.
They are now annoyed at me for objecting the offer but I feel like as I’m not the executor, she is going to accept it anyway.
We’ve have had a falling out since the passing of my mother. When I objected to the offer she said “you can start paying for maintence then” and “ I knew you would say no”.
This is my only inheritance and I don’t want to be shorted changed but am feeling pressured. Am I in the wrong here?
There doesn't have to be someone in the wrong.
It's not wrong to want to get more. It's not wrong to want to sell now and avoid further fees and the value potentially going down. It's just different perspectives.
Do your sisters have financial burdens that could be eased by selling now? Is that contributing to their desire to sell? Maybe it's not just about the young family.
I'm sure you all understand where the others are coming from, but none of you want to compromise and there may not even be a way to compromise. You sell or you don't.
Is your sister willing to try to negotiate with the buyer and if they won't budge would you be willing to accept the offer they have made?
Do you generally have a good relationship with your sisters and is that important to you?
If you're not all going to be happy, your sister is the executor, your sisters both/all want to sell so it sounds like that's the majority as well. I'd say your sister probably will sell even if you don't agree and I don't think it's wrong for her to do so.
