Never Rationalize Debt!
Hey, guys. Huge fan. My wife and I are based at Step 7, and we are SQ coordinators. Wow. And thank you. Oh, of course. We are taking a break this year because we're having another baby.

Thank you. This is really a future estate question. Let me explain. My brother and his family have completely cut off contact with my parents and now with me and my family. And they've given me the power of attorney, et cetera, to deal with their estate once that time comes. And here's the tricky part, though.

My parents bought and paid for my brother's house almost 20 years ago and still own it and are still paying for taxes and insurance, etc. They didn't buy me a house, which is not a big problem, but my parents won't give me much more direction other than he gets the house and I would inherit their house upon their death. But my parents have a rental I'd like to have. That's not in the will.

My question is, how do I make these decisions from a moral and financial standpoint if they won't give me direction and my brother's basically gone AWOL from the family?

I have spoken to them about I need some more direction. This needs to be out in the air, and I can't get any progress with that. Then don't worry about it.

From my standpoint, I believe so. I just don't like the pressure. There's no pressure.

I'm okay, I think, with him getting the house they already bought him. I don't want to deal with that.

And I just don't want that to go through courts. I don't want it to go through all the things if it's not in the will.
