Dispute With Sibling Re Selling Inherited Property

BooJewels

If your Mum appointed you both as executors, then she was giving you her authority and blessing to take care of her affairs after her death.  She was entrusting you to sort things out and to look through her papers.  We all know this will be a necessary evil and your Mum has already consented to you doing so.  If she wasn't happy with the idea, she would have made different arrangements.   

So you must put aside your squeamishness about the task and carry out your duties to the best of your ability.  That's how you honour her and do her justice.  She appointed you, because she trusted you - just keep that in mind.  Sometimes you just have to adopt a business like head and put aside the personal aspect.  I actually found it quite comforting to be doing a task, getting on with it and trying to do it well in their name.

Perhaps you could point out to her the additional cost that will be incurred if you sell the house on the open market, as well as the chance you may get offers lower than what you are willing to give her.  I think one solution would be to be generous with her on the value of the house if you really want it.
