<prompt> Human: Im not really sure if this should go here but here goes anyway. I am 19 years old and two years ago my father who has been divorced from my mother since I was 10 passed away. He didnt leave a will but it has finally been settled that my sister and I will be inheriting everything. This includes the house and a great lump sum of money from superannuation and insurance. We have currently got someone renting the house with all the money from that going into paying off the rest of the house which I believe is around 120,000. We have just received word from the lawyers that the lump sum of around 192,000 has just come through which we will receive next week. I am writing here however as I dont believe I can trust either my mother or my sister with what is best to do about the whole situation. As I was only 17 when it happened they left me out of a lot of decision claiming I was too young my sister is almost three years older. This included allowing a family friend to stay in the house for zero rent as long as they helped out with fixing the place up. However this ended up a bust as they abused the place and essential left it worse off. I warned them as soon as i found out I was no happy with this. I am a aspiring lawyer and am very serious about my future. My sister is, for lack of a better word, a bit of a druggo. I would not put it past her to not think seriously about this and just use the money on a whim. However I do not know a lot about this topic to know what may be best for us all. I want to do whats best not just for me but also for her in the hopes that she may get back on her feet soon.Any advice on what would be the best course to better the investment house and lump sum would be appreciated.  <response>: I am writing here however as I dont believe I can trust either my mother or my sister with what is best to do about the whole situation.Your level of trust is irrelevant, as long as they disburse your money. Ask them to buy you out of the property or speak to your lawyer about your right to have the home sold and the assets distributed. I wouldnt want to be in the landlording business with them if you dont trust or respect their judgment.
