Relevant facts and circumstances
Your parent (the deceased) passed away on DD/MM/YYYY.
The deceased's Will left an ownership interest in a dwelling (the property) to you and your sibling in equal shares.
The property was the deceased's main residence at time of their passing.
Your sibling occupied the property as their main residence from the time it was originally purchased and had lived with your parent caring for them up until their passing.
Your sibling moved to an aged care facility on DD/MM/YYYY as they were no longer able to live independently due to a medical condition.
As your parents and sibling had lived in the property for an extended period of time there were a lot of possessions and memories to sort through. You were working full-time and supporting/visiting your sibling so you had limited time to prepare the property for sale.
During this process you also suffered your own health issues.
The property was placed on the market and sold with settlement occurring on DD/MM/YYYY.
The property was never used for income producing purposes.
