What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? California
I dont know if this is the correct forum to post in, if not, please correct me.
My father and I are planning to buy a trailer park in a nice gated community.
Its not much but this is going to be my first time to buy a home and I want to be sure that I have as few risks as possible.
Now this is the risk:
I have a younger brother who is not working but is studying to be a nurse. Me and my dad is supporting him for everything even though he has an attitude problem and treats us with disrespect by not talking to us, not eating with us and not helping in the house and is verbally abusive so he basically lives like a prince for many years and my dad is emotionally unable to correct his attitude and worse, he gives everything he needs without question, inflates his ego in my expense and does nothing by literally hiding away or being silent whenever my brother treats me like trash and uses bribes instead of the good "man of the house" type of discipline. Due to this my brother has developed into some sort of a psychopath and I know for sure he will stop at nothing to get more than what he can have even if it takes running me over that he even mentioned to a cousin of mine one time, "Don't be crazy with women, be crazy with money!"
This is not paranoia. In the past I personally knew of a person who has a house given to him by his dad that after he died, his siblings who wants their inheritance, forced him to sell it and since he is a good guy, he didn't contest it but he did it with a heavy heart. So he was basically driven out of his own house and I am afraid that this would also happen to me.
When I told my dad about this concern, he was even angry at me for mentioning it. And assured me that I am not at risk because of a few facts he told me which I know may or may not be true because he is not a lawyer.
As you can see my dad is weak willed who bends easily with pressure and prefers a peaceful life even if it harms me in the end and I am afraid if he dies all of the sudden, my brother who will now have a big paycheck as a nurse, might sue me to force me to sell this trailer home to also get money out of it despite the fact that I let him live free in it while he was studying and I co-paid with it.
So I want to secure this home under my name if ever my father dies and could stop or prevent my brother or anyone (my dad has a gf in a different country and other older siblings out of wed-lock) to have any part of it like an agreement between me and my father that he will not transfer the home to anyone but me.
I am not trying to be greedy, I love my brother despite of everything but I don't want to be a fool that I will ruin my financial life by not protecting myself. A trailer park is not even a real home because it loses value over time like a car and with my brother's soon to be career, he should have the resources to get his own home and even bigger and better than mine.
What should I do?
