When it comes to inheritance, some families forget they’re a family.

This woman inherited her deceased father’s house, where her eldest daughter currently lives. But now, the daughter wants the house and is refusing to pay taxes unless it is in her name.

Read below for the full story.

AITA family in shambles

My father passed in 2021 at the age of 92. I was willed his home, along with all his assets.

Quick backstory, in 2020, my eldest daughter and her newly married husband asked if they could move in with him, and due to COVID, I thought it would be a great idea.

They can keep him company and save money as newlyweds.

I would still cover all expenses. They didn’t have to pay any rent, no utilities, nothing.

Of course, they would just be responsible for their groceries, but my father mostly bought groceries, and they did the cooking.

Fast forward to 2025.

This woman’s daughter refused to pay the taxes and their own utilities.

I asked them to please start covering the taxes, which is roughly 7,000 a year, plus their utilities.

They absolutely refuse.

They said they would not contribute one cent unless I sign the house over to them.

They now have a newborn and say I’m the jerk.

But she’d rather use the money herself.

My husband and I have our own home in a different city, and an 8-year-old.

We would like to spend that money towards our home, vacations, and hobbies.

I offered to put the house on the market and give them 250,000 to start anew, but they also refused.

The current value of the house is estimated at 650,000 market value.

Need advise.

Seems like daughter needs to learn to stand on her own two feet.

Stop playing nice, says this user.

Here’s some valid advice.

Wise words from this one.

This person puts it plain and simple.

And eviction is the solution, says this reader.

The cycle of freeloading needs to stop.
