<prompt> Human: I have a question about my dads estate. My sister and I received a house that is paid for sitting on 160 acres of farm land. She wants to keep the house and thats fine but how do we account for the rental income from the house when we split the estate? I want to make sure we get an equal share of the estate. The plan is she keeps the house and shes going to rent it out. I want to keep the land and we need to decide how much the house plus the rental income is worth compared to the land. We already know the value of the house. Im just not sure how to account for the rental income my sister would get year after year for the house. It would add up to a lot after 10 or so years. How many years do we account for? Do we account the income at all? TL;DR : Splitting 160 acres and a house with my sister. Sister wants house, I want land. Do you account for rent income on the house? How many years of rental income?  <response>: The rental income is immaterial to your question. You need to determine the market value of the farm land X and the market value of the house Y. The total is Z and each of you should end up with Z2. If the land is worth less than Z2 then your sister needs to pay you Z2 - X dollars. If the land is worth more than Z2, then you must pay your sister X - Z2 dollars. There will be fees to split the land the home is on from the farm land. You will spilt those fees 5050.
