<p class="MsoNormal">I have a fact pattern where multiple pieces of real estate are to be distributed between siblings. Father died 6 years ago and nothing was done. Siblings are in agreement to divide assets 50/50, but want to divy up the properties vs own
them together. However there is a disagreement on if the split should be based on date of death values vs current values. Is there a hardline rule on this I am unaware of if the parties cannot agree? <br clear="all">
