An attorney needs to explain and if possible plan for risk mitigation if one sibling undergoes a crippling financial setback or liability. For example, one of them causes the wrongful death of a third party and is sued for damages far in excess of insurance coverage. One of them incurs a tax liability far beyond their ability to pay, and the IRS wants to seize the house as an asset. This is not a married couple who are together for better or for worse, so the risk needs to be examined.
