My grandmother recently died. In her will she left a house in North Carolina to be divided 3 ways. One of the heirs, who is also the executor, wants to purchase the house. He is saying that he is dividing the monies based on the tax value of the house. The market value is about twice the tax value. Is that correct? Also we have recieved no paperwork except a bill of sale to sign over the property to him for what seems to be a very small sum of money, even going by the tax value (not even a copy of the will or papers showing how the figure was arrived at.) Should we hire an appraiser, a lawyer or both? Does it sound like he is trying to get by with something?
