20-year-old refuses to sign over property rights to older sibling until he gets his promise in writing, sparking family feud: 'I’m just asking for legal security before I give up mine'

This family member seems to be the only person who has his head on straight, and that's what seems to be frustrating everyone else. When this guy was a kid, he became the co-owner of a property with his older sibling. Once he came of age, his sibling wanted full ownership of the property, which is something the author was willing to pursue as long as he was given legal assurance regarding a promise that was made years ago. 

This story serves as yet another example of the fact that not every family member is worth trusting. Sure, no one wants to be that cynical. We all want to believe that the people who share our last names have our backs. But the truth is that in nearly every family unit, there is a loose canon, the kind of individual who thinks for themselves and who you would never want to bet on in a game of poker. 

In this instance, the author had the unfortunate experience of having their older sibling as the loose canon of the family. The problem is that the sibling seems to have convinced everyone else in the family that he was in the right, which only made the author look bad. What's remarkable to us is how folks could think of the author as the culprit of all the family drama, especially considering the fact that all he's doing at the end of the day is advocating for himself and protecting his financial future. Shouldn't that be something that the fully grown adults of the family would understand and support? Apparently not!
