How to go about rent to own with family and them staying in the home?

Father recently passed and my brother is trying to tell the rest of us what we should do with dads estate and my very ALIVE mothers estate. To me, thats kinda messed up….. I have talked with mom about buying her house just to tell him to go suck it. Of course i do not have anywhere near the money needed. I do not want to take out a loan. I have talked with mom about giving her a certain amount of money per month (for x amount of years or death, whichever is first) allowing her to stay there until death, (even if i have paid for it in full) with me paying taxes and her just paying her utilities.

How could we legally go about doing this so my brother cant try to screw me in the end. (he already said he was going to contest her will… hope he does cause there is a clause that said if contested, the person contesting would get the share of a dead person. meaning nothing) This brother has always been horrible to her. Tells her he will come fix something then ghosts her. Says he will visit, doesnt show up. Tells her he didnt know about family dinners, when we talk about them in group chats. He has already threatened to not be my brother anymore if he doesnt get his way. He is about 15 years older than me, moved out before i started school and was never around while i was growing up. Its like i really didnt have a brother anyway.

Im guessing lawyers should be involved. What do we say to them? Should we just put it in a trust? Or property transfer and give her a lifetime estate? I just dont want to pay her all of these years and him to come back and take it from me.,. We are in Tennessee if that matters.

North Carolina – “One to Buy; Two to Sell”

I realize I will likely have to contact a real estate attorney but also hoping to hear insights and experiences from others! I have a house in NC that I bought by myself in 2009, and paid off, in full, in 2022. I got married in 2023. My spouse and I have not lived in the house as our "marital residence". We have maintained separate residences even after we got married. (That a separate topic!). I am now selling this house. Realtors have told us that my husband has to sign the deed at time of transfer but I am not convinced since the house has not been our marital residence. The realtors like to use the phrase "one to buy; two to sell", which seems like a broad-stroke statement which is not applicable under all circumstances. And of course, the realtors don’t realize the details of my specific circumstances: I purchased and paid for the house in full prior to marriage Only my name is on the deed And most importantly, we have never lived in the house as a marit...

Aren't comps/CMAs useless with buyer credits at close happening now?

I'm looking into buying a new construction townhouse in my HCOL US city. I'm seeing builders offering interest rate buydowns worth $20k-$60k on $800k homes (rather than just lowering prices) in order to keep their comps high for their other units, now that buyer demand has been declining. I asked my agent about these, and he said these buydowns aren't even the full story: buyers can write all kinds of other credits into an offer, like their closing costs, prepaid sewer fees, etc. Apparently cash buyers can just write in a "buyer credit at close" for any amount in their offer. So a new townhouse that appeared to sell for $800k in the MLS might have actually been a cash offer with a $100k+ buyer credit at close, meaning the buyer only spent $700k or less in total, but to the rest of the world they can only see the $800k! So that made me realize I can't trust comps/CMAs for other new construction townhouses. The sales prices could be way lower than they appear...
