Re: Property deeds and siblings

I hope I understand the question. If they feel they have rights to the property, why won't they help repair it? And if they don't have rights in the property, why would you want them to help with the repairs? I assume the parents did not leave a will so that you own whatever interest you bought and the parents own whatever the remaining interest is, and that interest gets split equally amoung you and your siblings. So it appears they do have an interest, and if they choose, they can force the sale of the house.
