Question posted in the General Law category relating to Mpumalanga
We are 5 siblings who are all working except one that is epileptic which renders him disabled. Our mother who owned our family house died in 2018 where's our step with whom they were married and had one child died in November 2023.
After my mother's death no one wanted to stay with my epileptic brother and I was forced to stay with him in my house. I am married with 4 kids which makes it difficult for my family. My biggest concern is What will happen in the event i as there's no relationship nor communications with our siblings.
The house is still under my mother's name and occupied by one of my brothers with his family.
Will i be wrong if request that the house be sold and split revenue amongst the 5 of us?
I Will then combine my epileptic brothers share with mine to build him a house and guesthouse.
If my idea is correct where should I go for assistance?
What annoys is that the sibling have never assisted with anything when our 2 bedroom house was extended into a 6 bedroom house. I've covered all the costs
Your honest advise and wisdom is all went need
Best Regards
