I'm looking for a second opinion . I will be brief. Dad passes away in 2013 and he had already gifted the house to myself my sister and my brother. My sister is divorced living in the house with her 2 children with dad 10 years prior to his death . My brother and I inform her (verbally) that we would like to sell the house in a few years but not now and you can stay here for a few years as long as you pay the taxes home owners insurance and water bill. which she does. A few years comes around and we want to sell it and she's upset but goes along and then sends us both a bill for 1/3 of 3 years of the taxes home owners and water bills. I have a young real estate attorney in my Neighborhood and he said he'd most likely (if he was representing me ) come up with a rent bill for her for 3 years of
living in the house . Now he's young and I'm looking for a second opinion. He said its happened to him once already in his career and the rent bill ended up being 3 times the plaintiffs bill(which would be similar here) and the mediator just called it a a wash ? But once is not a big sample size. please comment
