Q. My mother passed away this year in Maricopa county. Her house has about $144k in equity and I want to buy out 2 brothers

September 24, 2021

A: The buyout can take various forms. The most straightforward version is to buy it from the estate for fair market value. The estate would then later split the money when the time comes.
