@Pooledon let's understand more. 38 years ago, the 4 of you inherited a home from an estate, right? just want to be sure the use of the word 'inherit' is the right context. if a living person gave the 4 of you this home, it would be 'gifted' to you.
how was the house maintained over 38 years, meaning was it rented out? or was it a beach / mountain / vacation home used amoung the 4 of you? That information would help responding to you.
