Elderly sibling inheritance and double tax question

I am sorry for the loss of your aunt. Whatever solution you come up with, please make sure your father has updated his will on the basis of the new ownership of property.

Many a side deal between relations turn sour very easy,
we already see uncle been called greedy even though he has suggested to his brother sells his house he appears to be happy to take half of his brothers 450K house to facilitate his Brothers wishes hobbies now other close relations who cannot see how much he is going out of his way to help his brother out are calling him greedy,

This is the key issue.

Work out what your father wants and go for that even if it expensive and tax inefficient.

His priorities seem to be to keep the sheds and to stay in his own home.

So split the aunt's property in two and he takes the sheds as part of his inheritance.

Then sell the aunt's house and pay off the uncle and settle the CAT liability.

My uncle on the other hand is greedy and wants the most money he can get from his share of my aunts estate.
He has no money and will rely on the sale of her house,

He is not greedy to expect half his sisters Inheritance,

Actually he is being generous to his Brother he is not trying to have a one sided relationship with his brother far from it he is trying his best to facilitate him,
I cannot understand how he can be called greedy, to me greed is expecting to get more than you are entitled to,
If fact he has offered to take less from your father if he wishes to move into his late sisters house,

You appear to be suggesting if your father takes over some of his late sisters estate his brother should be grateful to get 50% of what is left when sold, Can you see how that thinking is not fair on your uncle,

The best way to make sure there is no bad feelings when all this is sorted is for your father to insist his brother gets at least 50% or a little more of his sisters Inheritance for facilitate his brother wishes,

Just like the way his brother your uncle is going at least 50% if not more to facilitate your fathers wishes,

Looking at it the other way around, can the uncle sell his house, move to the sisters house and pay your dad his 50% from the sale of the uncles own house. That way the brothers are living next door to each other and can come to an agreement about the sheds?

May not be that simple for lots of reasons
For a start
first house will need a half acre site,
we don't know where the septic tank is located
we don't know where the water connection is located
we don't know if splitting the property will slow down sale according to op father doesn't like the idea of someone else accessing the sheds it is not just because of the machinery issue he wants to hold on to them,
Buyers may have the same Issues as op father has when the property gets split,
even if they get a sale we don't know what issues crop up at engineering stage,

DR Strangelove posted this is a human problem not a financial problem,

well it appears to be turning into both a human and financial problem,

The op says one of the brothers has no money and is greedy but I don't think from the posting he is greedy more likely he wants his share as soon as possible,
Splitting property may make it unsaleable or at the very least slow down both the selling the closing of the sale ,
