If one heir out of 6 refuses to sign for a house to be sold, is there a way the others can sell it without that signature?

Answered by attorney Charles Richard Perry (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Charles R. Perry
I assume that title to the property is in the name of the heirs, and not still in the name of the decedent. If this is true, then the only way to force the sale of the property is through a lawsuit called a "partition." If the property is still in the name of the decedent, then a probate must be opened to sell the property.

Who will get my aunt's house when she passes away?

Kimberly Demetrice French
Answered by attorney Kimberly Demetrice French (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Law Offices of Kimberly D. Moss, PLLC
It's a bit unclear what happened, but I'm going to attempt to answer your question in either scenario. If your aunt signed the deed over to your sister, then it is no longer your aunt's house because she sold it to her (or gave it away) when she transferred the title to her. If, instead, your sister prepared a deed and forged your aunt's signature, this is an invalid transfer. You didn't say whether or not this new deed done by your sister was filed in the county deed records, but the best thing to be done is to contact a local attorney for a consultation about this matter. If your aunt is still alive, this matter can be resolved relatively quickly with either a correction deed or a title examination.

I was with my man for 14 years he just passed away am I entitled to anything?

Answered by attorney James P Frederick (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Frederick & Frederick Attorneys at Law
The answer depends on facts which are not included in your summary. You have no rights in the absence of a Will or Trust providing for you, or joint assets or beneficiary designations. If all of his assets are titled in his name alone, you would only be entitled if there was a Will or Trust naming you as beneficiary.
