Defensive offer, or have house prices become so expensive?

Why am I being forced to sell?

Repeating this nonsense more often does not make it more correct.
In this thread, it feels as if one had to convince a lateral thinker to get vaccinated.

She is the result of a whole life full of work, courage, sweat, sacrifices, and creativity.

But not from you!

And if you really don't have to pay any taxes, the laws should be adjusted quickly. I find inheriting millions without contributing to society an absolute injustice.

I basically see it the same way, but inheritance is always a double-edged sword. On the one hand, one can argue that income was already taxed at the time. Real estate acquisition is also taxed (property transfer tax). Many also perceive it as unfair to pay taxes again on money already taxed multiple times when inheriting to the next generation, which is understandable.

On the other hand, inheritance always makes the already wealthy part of society even wealthier, while those from poorer backgrounds have a harder time building something.

The question arises whether one should generally tax ownership above a certain – very high – threshold. But we're not talking about peanuts like "inherited a house worth seven figures." How drastically unequally our wealth is distributed is something one cannot easily imagine.
But this "tax the really rich" thing also has its pitfalls. Because life isn't that great in Germany either, and then they just move somewhere where the sun shines more.

There are no simple answers to highly complex questions.

It doesn't get any more correct the more often you repeat the nonsense.
You feel in this thread as if you had to convince a lateral thinker to get vaccinated.

Funny, I feel exactly the same way but reversed. Everyone here only sees the huge sums and thinks that should be enough. That in reality you lose, namely your homeland, is completely irrelevant.

But not from you!

So what? If that were the case, you shouldn't inherit anything at all. Besides, we were involved for 50 years.

Funny, it’s exactly the same the other way around for me. Everyone here only sees the huge amounts and thinks that one should be satisfied with that. That in reality one loses, namely one’s home, is completely irrelevant.

But it can be resolved. We had a similar situation (just not with such high amounts). My father passed away, my mother is still alive, I have 2 siblings. Half of the house already belonged to my mother. From my father’s inheritance she inherited 50% and the children each inherited 1/3 of the remaining 1/4 of the house. So at the time I inherited 1/12 of the house. My sister wanted to keep/take over the house. Fortunately, we agreed - she commissioned a neutral appraiser who valued it. This appraisal was the basis. She then took out a loan and paid out the other heirs. My mother received a lifelong right of residence, that was also somehow factored in there (ask me how, no idea, I don’t really care tbh). Of course, if the house is worth more than one can afford to pay out, then you have to come to an agreement with the co-heirs in another way. If there is no agreement, you actually lose the home if it is sold – but you can only influence that to a limited extent. It would have been no different with a lower value if we hadn’t come to an agreement.

The fact that you actually lose your home is completely irrelevant.

That’s what I meant by nonsense. In this situation, you are not forced to sell in the slightest. That has already been written about 20 times. You just are not willing to pay even a cent for values you did not create yourself.
Moreover, you haven’t even sought advice so far and drop statements about value and achievable rent as if they were set facts. And then you complain, complain, and complain.
What are those supposed to say whose parents rented? Complain that they don’t get the apartment as a gift after their parents pass away? After all, the parents also worked hard all their lives. Sorry, stupid comparison, but if it doesn’t make you get it otherwise...

I will not respond to the many attacks. I believe that only causes arguments and is pointless. I don't want that. Whether one finds the exemptions acceptable or not is beside the point. We will see if politics thinks an adjustment will be necessary. I just wanted to point out that an imbalance has developed here compared to before. And by before, I mean the last 16 years and not the last century.
