<prompt> Human: My mom and her three siblings were given their parents home after their death. The house and property is worth maybe 200k. My mom has asked me if I think its a good idea for her to sell her share to her sisters in order to pay off debt. I imagine her debt is slightly more than the 50k that her share is worth. She currently lives in an apartment in a different city than the house. Shes very private and wont give me more details about her finances. What do you recommend?  <response>: If she has no particular interest in owning a portion of that house then yes it probably makes sense. But it depends on a ton of other factors:- how much interest is she paying on her current debt? If this is a credit card at 18 then hell yes she should pay it off. If its an auto loan at 0.9 thats a very different story.- do her siblings even want to buy it out? Are they all in agreement on the value?- if she didnt sell the house to her siblings what is the long-term plan? Are they all going to put it on the market soon? Is it a vacation home? Does anyone live there?
