I live in the home yes, I maintain the massive 3600 sqm property solely, which is located in rural WA. As per agreement made, all costs associated to the home were to be paid by both at 50/50 split.
In over 4 years I haven't seen a penny from her, despite the many requests.
My sister lives 2-3 hrs away and has zero interest in looking after the home our beautiful mother ( single mum ) worked so hard to be able to pay off and leave to us to enjoy. She doesn't even come here.... ( we grew up here so all family and friends are here ). Mom also left a large sum of money to us both which was equal amounts.
I'm not being greedy by all means, I am purely trying to save the home our mother provided, paid off, made memories in, from being taken or lost by my sister and her life choices.
- back story....
The large sum of money left to us both ( $50k + ), my sister spent the entire amount on her meth addiction.... $50 +K on meth over 2 years....... In this time frame, she lost her home, her job, her car and her inner ability to see rational.
She has pawned everything she has to get $$, and has tried numerous times to apply for loans against her share of the home to feed her habbit....
If a loan she gets is approved at all, and she can't pay the loan and has used the house as collateral, the bank will try and take the home..... I refuse to let her take our mother's home and disregard all the love it has to feed her addiction. She has lost all respect for everything.
I'm trying to secure my mother's memories and respect her wishes.....
In relation to buying my sister out, I myself am not currently able to do so due to a job change and needing to wait 6 months to come out of the probation period my job has. Once 6 months are complete I can hopefully do this.
But in the meantime, what can I do to protect the house from my sister.
She is currently calling me and threatening to apply to the court under hardship to be able to draw on her half of the home to gain cash....
The situation is more in-depth than I can describe. Its just frustrating...
