I think this woman did a wonderful thing in buying back this family home. So many people here in the Midwestern U.S. will not leave property to an heir through a will. Instead, the property is offered for sale to any family member who can afford to buy it or can get a loan. Since when is someone supposed to pay for an inheritance? I always thought an inheritance should be "willed" to someone. In so many cases, the younger generations of a family are not affluent enough to buy the property, and the property goes to strangers who do have the money or credit. I believe this practice of selling family property is terrible; after all, the old or ill person selling the property will not take the money with him when he dies. I believe it is far better to keep the property within the family by giving it, free of charge, to a designated heir.
Nice if you get away with it............Most people would not be able to do this.
