Moral issue Regarding a Will

paddy jameson power

I am in the process of getting separated and tidying up the loose ends including an amicable disposal of property. I have been living in rented accommodation for a couple of years. There are no kids. My father died some years ago and left his house to both my sister and I. She has a daughter and they both live in our late fathers house and did so with my father while he was alive. She works part time and my niece is a full time student. I grew up in this house and stayed there for a short time on my separation.

My financial situation is increasingly precarious as my rent continues to increase. I have tried to raise the issue of selling our house with my sister - however on each occasion she becomes verbally aggressive and refuses to even discuss the matter. I have made an equal contribution to both house insurance and property tax. In recent years my sister has taken on a tenant and pockets all the rent. I would so like to resolve this amicably (as other than the refusal to discuss the property I get on well with my sister).
I would be very interested to hear views as to what the right thing to do is. Is legal recourse inevitable or is it possible to resolve amicably? Views welcome.

Get legal advice or just turn up with a suitcase tbh.

Sorry to be blunt but I'm not really sure what else there is, looks like you've tried talking about it.

You have the same right to the gaff as she has. If she does not agree to sell, the she'll have to buy you out. You'll probably have to get a solicitor or at least a mediator to sort out that side of things.

Move back in. Its your house afterall.

Go to a solicitor,basically what will happen is she will have to give you half what it's worth or the house will be sold splitting equally
