Hi,
We need to pay back my brother-in-law 50,000 for money he has given us to partially pay for House of husbands Mother.
Long story short (hopefully)
Mother-in-law died almost 4 yrs ago. Brother is executor.
He wanted to buy her house, but didn’t have the money or income to get a mortgage, a friend offered to loan him the money. Over about 2 yrs , he sporadically sent money, 3x totaling 50,000. He still owes 75,000, but hasn’t since any money in about 2 yrs
Husband finally obtained an attorney, and a judge will rule on the house in September. Attorney said we will win and brother-in-law will have to sell the house and proceeds to be divided equally, however we will have to pay back the 50,000.
My question is where should we pull the money from.
Choices are:
TSP, probably not a good idea as we will have to pay taxes on WD.
Roth IRA, it has about 80,000. In the account.
Obtain a HELOC
Any other ideas/suggestions?
Thanks for the help
