How do I get the other half owners to sell the house or buy me out?

Bernard H. Greenberg
Answered by attorney Bernard H. Greenberg
Estate Planning lawyer at Kokish & Goldmanis, P.C.
You should go visit with an attorney specializing in estates and real estate. It may be appropriate to seek to partition your interest. Of course, it is always best to have all parties solve these issues together.

What options do I have if someone I have been living with for years dies?

Answered by attorney Douglas A Tull (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Douglas A. Tull, P.C. Attorney at Law
Not many. Best advice, get married! In absence of that, have fiance execute a will that names you as beneficiary or have him name you as a beneficiary on life insurance or qualified plans or own property jointly with him.

I want to sell my parents house but my mother refuses. What options do I have?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Brian Haggerty (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Minor, Bandonis & Haggerty P.C.
I assume from your facts that your mother is trustee and is a settlor of the trust. Unfortunately, it's your mother's house. You can try to talk to her, but if she can't be convinced, then she can't. Nothing in your statement indicates that your mother is incapacitated. If you sell the house on a short sale, your mother (and you) come away with nothing. If your mom holds onto the house until she dies, and then it gets foreclosed because you can't and won't pay the mortgages, then you come away with nothing. Either way, you come away with nothing, whether you win this argument or lose. Now, do you want to spend the last six months of your mother's life with her mad at you because you keep ragging on her to sell her house? I hope not. Your parents mortgaged their home in excess of its value; there's a lot of that going around, it's a bad deal and I'm sorry. I did, too. But what your mother needs now is for her family to be there for her, to help her face the approaching darkness. Focus on her medical needs and her need for family support. If she can live in her house until she dies, that's probably worth a few more mortgage payments. She needs her family more than she needs a financial advisor.

Martindale-Hubbell® Client Review Ratings™ display reviews submitted by individuals who have either hired or consulted the lawyers or law firms.

The Client Review Rating score is determined through the aggregation of validated responses. People who submit reviews are either individuals who consulted with the lawyer/law firm or who hired the lawyer/law firm and want to share their experience of that lawyer or law firm with other potential clients. Reviewers can be anyone who consults or hires a lawyer including in-house counsel, corporate executives, small business owners, and private individuals.

Martindale-Hubbell validates that a reviewer is a person with a valid email address. As part of the review process, respondents must affirm that they have had an initial consultation, are currently a client or have been a client of the lawyer or law firm identified, although Martindale-Hubbell cannot confirm the lawyer/client relationship as it is often confidential. The content of the responses is entirely from reviewers.

Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome and Martindale-Hubbell accepts no responsibility for the content or accuracy of any review. For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Client Review Ratings, please visit our Client Review Page

Martindale-Hubbell® Peer Review Ratings™ are the gold standard in attorney ratings, and have been for more than a century. These ratings indicate attorneys who are widely respected by their peers for their ethical standards and legal expertise in a specific area of practice.

The Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings process is the gold standard due to its objectivity and comprehensiveness. Lawyers solicited for peer reviews include both those selected by the attorney being reviewed and lawyers independently selected by Martindale-Hubbell. All reviewers are verified as attorneys through Martindale-Hubbell’s extensive attorney database. Only attorneys practicing at least three years and receiving a sufficient number of reviews from non-affiliated attorneys are eligible to receive a Rating.

What are the different Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings?*

• AV Preeminent®: The highest peer rating standard. This rating signifies that a large number of the lawyer’s peers rank him or her at the highest level of professional excellence for their legal knowledge, communication skills and ethical standards.

• Distinguished: An excellent rating for a lawyer with some experience. This rating indicates the attorney is widely respected by their peers for high professional achievement and ethical standards.

• Notable: This rating indicates that the lawyer has been recognized by a large number of their peers for strong ethical standards.

Lawyers who have received peer reviews after 2009 will display more detailed information, including practice areas, summary ratings, detailed numeric ratings and written feedback (if available). Details for individual reviews received before 2009 are not displayed.

Attorneys that receive reviews from their peers, but not a sufficient number to establish a Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Rating, will have those reviews display on our websites.
