This is how one woman felt after she assumed responsibility for her mom's house after she passed without leaving a will. Her only other close family was her older sister, who owned her own property and lived two hours away. The house had been built by their great-grandparents, and only family had ever lived in it.
After living in the place a while, the woman decided that she wanted to move for better job opportunities. Wanting somebody to help cover the expenses of the home and also take care of it, she proposed that a close friend of hers rent the property for a year.
When she communicated this to her sister, she got upset and cussed her out for the idea, leading her to back down and instead ask her to cover half of the expenses while she was away. However, she found herself having second thoughts, and she wondered if they were valid.

33-year-old assumes responsbility for mom's house after she passes without a will, older sister flips out when she proposes renting it to a friend: 'I don't see her doing anything besides hating'
The passing of a parent is almost always a sensitive and pivotal time in a person's life. When one of the reasons that you are even on this planet suddenly isn't here anymore, there is a lot of emotional processing that has to be done.
As if that wasn't enough, there is also the tricky question of the belongings and property that they leave behind. Unless you have no other family whatsoever, the inheritance has the potential to start all manner of arguments with all kinds of relatives.
Sometimes, these disagreements are more unexpected than others. It can be easier to predict a run-in with a wayward cousin than dealing with a sibling who seems to change their mind out of the blue. It requires extra sensitivity in a situation that everybody probably finds difficult enough already. It may be the case that whatever the solution, it will not make everyone happy.
