Dividing assets between siblings can be problematic.

Imagine suggesting taking over your parents’ mortgage on their house, so their house basically becomes your house. How would you make a situation like this seem fair to your siblings?

This man suggested taking over his parents’ condo and bills, but his siblings don’t like this idea at all.

AITA for taking over my parents’ condo and offering to give my siblings today’s value when I sell it?

My parents bought a condo in South Carolina years ago for about $100,000.

It’s worth at least three times that now, maybe more.

They’re older now and living in a retirement home, and keeping up the condo has become too much for them.

This man offered to take over his parents’ condo.

I stepped in and offered to take over the mortgage.

I offered to handle everything going forward. That includes mortgage payments, maintenance, property taxes, etc.

There’s about $29,000 left on the mortgage.

When he sells it, he’ll give his siblings a share.

At some point down the line, I might sell the condo. I want to keep things fair, so when I do, I’ll give my siblings their share of what the condo is worth today.

I’ll use the current market value.

That way they still get something out of it even though they’re not paying the mortgage or doing any upkeep.

The family thinks it’s unfair.

Now, my family’s acting like this is somehow unfair.

I don’t really get it.

I’m the one covering all the costs and making sure the place doesn’t fall apart, and I’m still giving them a chunk of what it’s worth now even though they won’t pay any bills going forward.

He thought he was doing the right thing.

My family suggested I buy it for a bit less than market value.

But I don’t have that money.

I just thought I was doing the responsible thing and keeping it in the family, but I was also making sure my siblings still benefit.

AITA?

Is he doing the right thing, or are his siblings right?
