<prompt> Human: Hi all, You guys helped me so much from my last post. Original hereSo now I have a new problem, I have contacted an estate lawyer to help me become the executor of the estate. Im still paying the mortgage for now. My grandma is moving in with my other aunt but shes still at my moms house for like another week. My new problem is my brother. So he hasnt really been involved with anything because 1: I wanted to make sure everything was done correctly. 2: He doesnt really know all the bills she has or who to contact or any of that. So i pretty much just took it upon myself to do everything. I did need his help in setting up a bank account for the utilities of the house but really i havent decided anything. So her car is in the garage and hasnt been used because I took the insurance off of it, however he was asking me for the keys for it. I told him no because there is no insurance and he said he will put insurance on it and i said you have to transfer title if you want to do that. anyways, he basically just wants to keep the car. However im learning that he cant just take it.. he would have to give me half of the value for it. Is that correct? im reading different things and im confused. Basically there is no will so everything of hers housecar is both of ours. Another issue with the house.. he wants to fix it up and sell it. Now, there is a lot of fixing up to do in that house and I dont think its worth it. He was asking if I was going to put any money in it and i said no. I think its worth putting it up for sale and letting the buyer fix it up themselves. I work in a title company and I know how these transactions go. Would that be the same thing? he would need to give me half of what its worth? but then do i just walk away? I know these are more for my lawyer, and Ive already written down all my concerns but I just need someone to tell me if i am getting screwed by him just taking everything. He thinks i am money hungry, i am not, i just want everything done correctly. Sorry this is so jumbled, I am at work and he started with me so early in the morning, i just need some insight or any information anyone can give me about this. I blocked him on the phone for now.  <response>: The whole thing will take time to sort out. Rushing to sellfix anything is just not appropriate at the moment, some of those assets may need to be liquidated to satisfy creditors.I wouldnt let him or anyone take possession of anything until things have been officially settled. Until that happens, the estate owns everything.Your lawyer should be able to help you navigate this. It may not always go how you want, especially if your brother decides to start throwing wrenches in the process.
