keeping the property and sharing its use. If the estate also features assets that cannot be distributed on pro-rata basis, an equal division of value is the solution. If a sibling wants to hold the property, then the others can get cash equal to their share of the property or other assets as it may be decided. Ultimately, everyone involved in the deal walks away with his or her share of the property in the right proportion. Dealing with the leftover items in the estate could be a laborious task and a bothersome job while attempting to settle a property. In this situation, you might need to categorize the items as those to keep, those to sell, those to donate and those to throw away. Remember that during an estate sale, people may be ready to buy even the oddest things. Therefore, make an effort to see that as many things as possible are sold or auctioned away to be converted into cash and distributed among the heirs.
