The common dispute about the sale of property occurs among siblings, either of the deceased or children of the deceased, who share different wishes for the future.

A conflict can occur where an economic divide exists between the heirs to estates. For example, a common dispute will occur between privileged parties and less privileged people wishing to sell the home based on their conflicting needs.

A sibling may feel that they have been short-changed in their parent’s will, which can lead to a dispute.
