My mother recently passed away, she left me as sucessor trustee and the house is split 50/50 between me and my sister.
The house is paid in full but my sister wants to hold onto it until the market recovers; I on the other hand want to get this done as soon as possible, pay her off and just be rid of her since we have no relationship, she doesn't work, has no car, her husband has very limited income and my mother would roll over in her grave if my sister ever lived in the house.
How can I legally get the house in my name and pay her off if she objects

Hi rkasmedo!
Welcome to forums!
You can buyout your sister. You can pay her for the 50% of the property and ask her to transfer the property to you with the help of a quitclaim deed or a warranty deed. I hope she agrees to it.
Feel free to ask if you've further queries.
