When we talk with someone about selling their portion of an inherited property, one of the most common follow-up questions is about their siblings.
“My sister has been just as tired of this as I have. Can she do the same thing?”
“My brother wants out too. Can you make him an offer?”
“There are three of us. We’ve already talked about it and we all want to be done.”
The short answer is yes. Each co-owner has their own undivided interest in the property, and each one can decide independently whether to sell their portion. You’re not locked into doing this alone, and your siblings are not locked out because you went first.
In many of the families we work with, multiple heirs end up selling their portions. Sometimes everyone decides at the same time. Sometimes one person does it first and the rest follow once they see how it went. Either way, every heir who wants to sell can sell, and every heir who doesn’t can stay in the situation if they prefer.
If you’d like us to talk with your siblings, you can share our contact information with them and they can reach out directly. You don’t need permission from anyone to do this. We make individual offers based on each person’s portion, and each conversation is between us and that individual heir.
For a lot of families, this is what finally moves things forward. One heir takes the step, the rest follow when they’re ready, and eventually most or all of the family is out of the situation.
If you or your sibling are looking to remove yourselves from a lawsuit and get paid for your interest, no cost to you, call or text us at (469) 708-8003 for an offer today.
