DR TCB, were you the one who asked about my brothers? It was their greed to get as much money from the property that has led to the mess. When they could have sold it - and they hold the majority vote - they priced it too high, against my advice and the realtors I consulted in my hometown.
If it had remained in my dad's estate, I would have sold it in 2007 while I was executor. They would have resented forever that I had given it away, but we wouldn't have paid out $24,000 in property taxes and they'd have money in their banks.
