‘She snapped at me that it's HER HOME and there's no reason why she should tell me that she's paying the bills’: Sister living in jointly inherited home refuses to prove paying taxes and insurance, pushing co-owning sister to rethink arrangement

If you want to maintain a shred of goodwill with your family, here's a revolutionary idea: never own property together. Sharing a streaming password? Fine. Splitting holiday leftovers? Manageable. Co-owning real estate with a sibling who once hoarded the LEGOs and declared themselves Pharaoh of the Playroom? Catastrophic.

Siblings are genetically programmed to argue over everything. If you couldn't survive a road trip without a treaty over who controlled the center backseat, why would you think co-signing a mortgage would be smoother? Inheriting a house together is like handing two raccoons a Faberge egg, it's only a matter of time before someone acrobatically ruins everything.

The delusion that shared property equals shared responsibility is cute, right up until someone forgets the insurance exists and leaves you legally exposed when their dog mistakes the mailman for a chew toy.

Here’s the cold, hard truth, siblings who couldn’t share a pack of gummy worms without a custody battle have no business sharing a deed.
Sell. The. House.
Split the cash, delete Zillow from your phone, and let your relationship thrive in a world where “joint ownership” means splitting the last slice of pizza not dodging foreclosure notices. Some bonds are too fragile for real estate.

You couldn't manage a joint pillow fort so of course a house is a good idea!

Remember how you couldn't share a toy? Good, that's why you can't share a house.
