My brother, a corporate lawyer, refuses to sell our family’s $175K lake house. Do I push the issue and risk ruining our relationship?

Dear Quentin,

I am having a long-standing issue with my brother. My father passed away 14 years ago and made my brother the trustee of his estate. Almost all of the possessions have been distributed; however, the estate still owns a small lake house and $100,000 in cash.

I have mentioned to my brother that I have no interest in the lake house. He visits it maybe five to 10 times a year. It is by no means an extravagant property and is worth approximately $125,000-$150,000 according to Zillow

Z.
