For some reason, probably a somewhat taboo subject in the region where I was born, it is rare to see wills written on time. It is kind of assumed that children inherit assets, but sometimes this leads to arguments. Well, sometimes even when there is a will, although then it should be clean.
The apartment we acquired last year was an inheritance and I felt that one of the brothers was not very happy with the amount of 💰 he got after selling. 😅
In some sad cases, even there's a will, some people might still challenge it.
Often you can get a good deal when buying a property from an estate as the descendants may just want to get everything over and done with quickly. Maybe that's why one of your seller brother wasn't happy. Too bad for him
