“A few thousand per square foot.”
Serenity looked at her two uncles and two cousins and asked them, “Do you have any objections? If you don’t, then we’ll go with Granddad’s idea. I’ll get someone to help me write the contract, then we’ll notarize the agreement. Granddad and Grandmom will have no share in the property my parents left behind in the future.
“They don’t need to move out, but you have to pay for the rent and utilities every month. We won’t take advantage of you, but don’t even consider taking advantage of us either.”
Zachary leaned into Serenity’s ear and whispered, “Transfer the ownership first. Although the name on the title deed is your dad’s, your grandparents are still around. Your sister and you will only be able to inherit it completely if they sign to give up their share of the inheritance.”
If the title deed was transferred to the sisters’ names, there would be no need to wrangle with those people in the future.
Serenity nodded.
The Hunt family had no objections. Mike said, “All right, Serenity. You’ll buy Grandmom and Granddad’s share of the land. In the future, our grandparents will stay in your house while we pay for their rent and utility bills. However, we still have to go back and talk to Uncle David.
“You two can come back tomorrow with the agreement and call the mayor to witness the signing.”
“Deal.”
Liberty agreed easily.
It was also good for the sisters to negotiate the settlement of their parents’ inheritance without any more fussing.
The Hunts were in a hurry to go home after the talk. When Old Mr. Hunt walked out of the hotel, he turned to look at the two Hunt sisters for a long time. His pursed mouth moved, but he did not say anything in the end.
After they left, Liberty held her son’s hand and said to her sister and brother-in-law, “Seren and Zachary, I’ll go back with Sonny now.”
