Estate executor asks whether brother should pay for property upkeep
A person appointed executor of an estate after their parents' deaths contacted MarketWatch to ask whether they can require their twin brother to pay part of the taxes and maintenance costs for inherited real estate. According to the letter, the writer covers these expenses independently, while the other beneficiaries make no contributions.
Estate settlement
The letter writer's parents died. Initially, the older brother was responsible for the estate, but he did not begin the procedure for settling the estate under the will. Later, the older brother died without a will, after which the letter writer was appointed executor of the estate.

According to the letter writer, the estate procedure has been completed, but the real estate has not yet been distributed. The heirs include the letter writer, the twin brother, and several nieces and nephews — the children of deceased brothers and sisters.
Lifetime right of residence
The twin brother was granted a lifetime right to live in the house where he currently resides. The letter writer considers it unfair to invest their own funds in the real estate alone because, according to the letter, the other beneficiaries expect to receive their shares of the inheritance without contributing to maintenance expenses.
