Then I said no, I think you meant you are from a family of seven kids (ie seven siblings.)

Consider tht the sister and the brother both know that there will be socil security income here and that might be coloring some of the disagreements between the 2 older siblings.

I now have siblings wanting to buy out each others 'interests' & when they do deals themselves they want to keep it all.

Mom and dad passed away without a clear will and there are several siblings.  

He also informed me that:- His brother did not have a will in place, and there are 4 or 5 siblings including him.- They have not spoken with a probate attorney, however,  the siblings are currently writing up an affidavit stating that they will all sign stating that the brother I spoke with was the care taker and is the decision maker for the property. - There is a tenant living in the house, however, no lease agreement was ever signed.My questions are:- Is there a way to avoid probate if there is not a will in place?

I have 2 siblings that share in the inheritance so I'm looking for suggestions on what type of entity (LLC or S/C corp) to hold the house and monies. 

That's 7 sq/ft larger than a house I lived in with my mother and 2 siblings when I was a kid.Now, my garage is bigger!

Since you already have a rental, it's easier to expand their since you already have the network, plus the siblings can help out in case of emergency/best critical decision making.

In addition, if you leave your primary residence to someone other than siblings, children, or spouse, they too are taxed.

My siblings started to invest in multifamily apartments in 2016.
