Administrator to purchase RE interest
I am an heir and administrator. I want to purchase the interest of other heirs. How can I do this without a conflict of interest? The market has dropped and the assessed value is now lower.

You need to be careful to avoid self dealing. I recommend getting a new appraisal. Also, a release from all parties. You do not want to get sued 5 years from now, by an heir that says you underpaid the estate.
