My sisters plan to come to Florida and liquidate our jointly owned, inherited home from my dad. This is considered my primary residence, and has been for ten years. Can they just come and remove any and all belongings?
Hi Hudzzon,
If you are one of the owners of the property, then they will not be able to just sell off the property without your consent. They even cannot force you to sell off the property. In my opinion, you should contact an attorney who will help you in securing your rights to the property.
Thanks

My answer is basically the same. 2 years ago, I went through that. 1 brother wanted to sell. The other brother lived at the property 16 years with my Grandmom and did not want me & hubby to come up & move in (we needed to after a layoff). The one who wanted to sell was not named in the will, as she knew he'd want to sell. The brother who lived here HAD to let us move in, like it or not because I am a 1/2 owner. So, as long as you we Also Named in the will (or just because you are also one of the "children" - you have rights!! It's a good idea to get a consultation from an attorney; the 1st one is often free. If you can't afford them to do any paperwork/ you probably won't need it; just tell your sisters "my attorney said _________". Best wishes and don't give in. I've been in my Grandmom's home for 2 years now & we just don't bother each other. K
