Will executor nightmare

Keep_pedalling

I think it highly unlikely that a court would award one beneficiary a bigger slice of the estate, why do you think otherwise?

You say that the house is jointly owned by a HA which means someone should be paying them rent for that portion, who is doing that? Who is paying CT and the utility bills?

Why would you agree to these terms?

You know that any extra that goes to the brother will either be gambled away or misappropriated by his sister. Execute the will first as written, then decide if you want to make an extra gift to the brother (because that is what you would be doing - and when you think about it like that it probably seems much more pointless). If the brother has an actual mental disability or clinical addiction - versus just being bad with money and lost in life - then giving him extra money is actually the opposite of helping. He needs treatment, which he’s more likely to get if he doesn’t have a lot of cash.

From what you say, it seems like getting the house sold is the only way you and your brother can cleanly separate yourselves from the drama of these dysfunctional siblings. You definitely don’t want to end up being their landlord or joint HA tenants with them.
