Am I Wrong for Keeping My Parents’ House From My Brother After Their Passing?

My parents’ will splits their estate equally between me, my brother, and sister. Growing up in a toxic environment where my mother was emotionally abusive, I’ve worked hard to build stability for my daughter, who’s now in college. My brother already owns two homes—one occupied rent-free by his adult child—yet his kids insist it’s “fair” to buy out my share of our childhood home for $15K, despite its $120K value. I’ve demanded a professional appraisal and equal split to support my daughter’s education, but they’re accusing me of selfishness. My brother even proposed a bidding war, which feels manipulative. With our mother still alive but frail, tensions are rising. Has anyone navigated similar inheritance drama? How do you balance legal rights vs. family peace? #FamilyInheritanceDrama #EstatePlanning #SiblingConflict
