Hey guys, huge fan. My wife and I are baby Step 7 and we are FQ coordinators, but...

Wow. And thank you. Oh, of course. We are taking a break this year because we're having another baby, so...

Oh, congratulations.

Thank you.

This is really a future estate question.

Let me explain.

My brother and his family have completely cut off contact with my parents and now with me and my family.

And they've given me the power of attorney, et cetera,

to deal with their estate once that time comes.

And here's the tricky part though.

My parents bought and paid for my brother's house almost 20 years ago

and still own it and are still paying for taxes and insurance, etc.

They didn't buy me a house, which is not a big problem,

but my parents won't give me much more direction other than he gets the house,

and I would inherit their house upon their death.

But my parents had a rental I'd like to have.

That's not in the will.

My question is, how do I make these decisions from a moral and financial standpoint if they

won't give me direction?

And my brother has basically gone AWOL from the family.

Well, I think it's pretty simple.
