In 2002 my in-laws offered us to buy half of my husbands grandparents house and the other half would remain theirs until they pass on and the other half would become our inheritance. Unfortunately this was a mutual agreement.
We invested about $40.000 into the house. My in-laws financial situation has changed and they now want half of what the house is worth, even though they have not made any contributions, not paid property taxes etc. What is your thought on this. How can we settle this to everyone's satisfaction ?

Hello d:

I don't think you're going to satisfy everyone, if the people you're trying to satisfy are trying to rip you off.

I think you need a real estate lawyer. It's better to secure your investment than make everybody happy.
