<prompt> Human: My grandfather passed away and left his house to his three kids 13 each. From there its set to pass 100 to my sister and myself. The issue now is that one of those kids wants to cash out. Long story short, my sister and I may need to buy out an aunt but dont have the cash on hand to do so.My question is, can you take out a mortgage to purchase a portion of a house, in this case 16? I am imagining no since the house is generally used as collateral. But since it will one day come fully into our own, Im hoping it is possible.Thanks Internet.  <response>: That doesnt make sense. If he gave it to his three kids, then they have it and its up to 23 to buy out the 13. You shouldnt be putting up any money for anything because you dont own any part of that house.
