My mother died recently, and I am the Executrix of her estate. My niece's boyfriend, who is 20 years older than her, has been bullying me and trying to intimidate me into selling her the house for about 1/3 the value, along with other firm suggestions.
Even though he can't legally make me do this, I am a nervous wreck. I am afraid of him and his mafia type friends. I changed the locks and put up security cameras.
PLease pray for my strength, courage and help with this matter. To make things worse, I have been living here on the East coast with my mother for about 3/4 of the last 2 years. My home is in California, along with my 2 dogs and the rest of my life. I have no idea how long it will take to resolve this estate, and I am quite depressed about. I would just like to go home and back to my life.
I hear you on this matter. Went through one of my siblings wanting to by my Mom's house for much less than what it would sell for. We denied her. She was mad about it and tried to get back at us But my Mom's will and repeated statements that she does not want any of her children or grandchildren to buy the house. Instead, she wanted the house sold and the money divided equally with all ten of us children.
If this man tries to push you again on this topic, tell him that if your neice or he were to purchase the home for much less than what it is worth it would be stealing from the inheritance of the other heirs and that is not right to do.
Since she is a neice and not a child of your mother's, her share in the estate would not be the same as those who are children of your mom unless her will stated otherwise. Stand firm against this money grabbing.
These matters that come up when a loved one dies are sad and distressing for other family members. It always surprises me how siblings and relatives rise up to complicate matters in selfish ways, willing to detriment other heirs for their gain.
I will be praying for you. Being an executor is a hard job, but at least you have the legal right to refuse this demand outright.
