<prompt> Human: My great-aunt, one of the sweetest women ever, passed away from lung cancer in the morning. My mom and my aunts who looked after her were making arrangements. One of the possible arrangements was giving me her house, since I was the one who was closest to her and my great-aunt would have wanted it. I currently live at my moms house. While I love my mom, shes junky and close to a shopaholic. Our house is junky as hell and stays that way no matter what I do.This could be a stepping stone toward getting a house of my own without having an apartments rent eat at a down-payment fund. Its also a chance to live in a spot that will stay clean. While Im paranoid thinking I cant just get a house for next to free, Im taking them at their word that the house is debt-free and all Id have to pay is insurance, taxes, and utilities. Its a small, one-bedroom house, but it could work. However, there are reasons Im on the fence about taking it:-The house has a number of near-busted big-ticket appliances stove, washerdryer Id want to replace. It also has structural damage I know of a hole in the wall a rat apparently came through; there may be a lot more things Id have to repair. Id give a rough estimate that Im looking at at least 5K of stuff to do right out the gate.-The house was broken into years ago. Theres an alarm system there, but my great-aunt didnt have hers on at the time. Its on and working now, but we still dont know who broke in. They may still be around, though my great-aunt didnt have any break-ins after that. Im still feeling bad juju about moving in there, because the items I move in would have WAY more value than what was taken last time stuff like change and some jewelry. -Assuming I dont want the house later, I have NO knowledge of how to sell it or how to rent it out. I dont like the idea of that extra hustle.Theres probably issues Im missing here, but those are the main ones. Of course, there might be stuff I just didnt think about because I dont know. Please offer advice if you can. In terms of finances, I recently got a new job where my income is 60K a year 40 post-tax. Assuming I stay on with my job, Ill be getting a little over 3,000 a month once the 90-day probationary period is up and insuranceretirement starts being taken out of my check. Im thinking I should be able to pay the bills. All in all, with the stuff I just mentioned, would it be wise to at least have the house transferred over to me even if I dont move in right away?  <response>: Your family doesnt get to decide what she would have wanted. There is either a will, or the assets will be distributed by the local laws for people who die without a will intestacy.
