Inherited half of house
Hello, my mother passed away in 2023 and my brother wanted to keep the house in our names rather than selling.
I live in Colorado but the house is in Ohio. I was fine with arrangement at first considering it needed some repairs and I assumed we would rent or sell later. Shortly after the estate was finalized my brother allowed his 30 yr old daughter to move in during a separation from her husband rent free. Now , 2026 she still lives there for free, divorced and my brother will no longer respond to me regarding my half of ownership. I’ve asked that we charge a reasonable rent to cover expenses and he refuses. I’ve asked my brother numerous times to buy me out. He becomes so upset that unfortunately, we’re currently not on speaking terms. I don’t want to sue my brother. What can I do?
