After seeing that thread on the tussle, reminds me of my own thread here.

 

Update.

 

My fren and his siblings are in a legal tussle of how much share each should get. So he still staying in the house. Think he wana let it drag on and on and on.

 

Sorry to say but your friend really buay zi dong.

 

If his parents intended the house be shared among the siblings, then what gives him the right to claim the whole thing as his and stay there all alone? It is unfair to his other brothers and sisters - if the parents had intended for the house not be sold then they would have put it in their will.

Nope... disagree

从小长大的地方..... 是我也不肯卖...

My assertion is that the other bro/sis dont need the $$ from sales proceeds... juz want to $$ for other purposes.

 

In short... its a rich man's game.. you never know the real intentions behind.. its really not so simple

 

Kudos to bro ad's friend.. 念旧

No will then how to dispute the share? You mean it doesn't fall under one of this standards?

Anyway, when you first posted, your friend was supposedly thinking of keeping the property as a remembrance to his parents but turns out it is all about the money. Like I said, he must be fair to the siblings. If his parents passed away in the 70s that means he has been staying there rent free (for the siblings' share) for 40 years already.

 

Please advise your friend not to be so selfish.

Need or want isn't for his friend to decide. The house belongs to all of them and not just one person.

 

Anyway, now his friend is willing to sell but is disputing the share so it seems that it is about money and not the "feeling".

I dont think he is after any money. More of dragging the case on and on so he can remain staying there as I see it. That is what I see from an outsider point of view. Being so old liao, in his 60's, he will not want to move away from the area.

hmm.. as per TS mentioned, the friend parents went thru a hard time to achieve that plot of land.. sentimental values in which the nephew/neice may not have been able to witness and thus understand..

 

afterall, it seems like majority is against the sale of the property.. so i don't feel the friend is buay zi dong.. instead, I feel is the nephew/niece that is buay zi dong..

 

 

P.S: I saw a forummer posts and surprised~ 2 years back his advices are jin solid and so much less sarcastic sia!
