What is the name of your state? Il
My Father Died recently with no will. In the beginning my siblings and I had agreed to just have my fathers property transferred in all our names (4 of us)
Since then and now, we have learned that one squibling has sold over 5 thousand dollars worth of Farm equipment (he has a severe drug addiction)
Since we told the lawyer that we are all in agreement at that time the property never actually went into probate. quick deeds were sent out for us to sign and that would be it. We have since changed our minds about sharing land with our brother...he just cant be trusted. We offered a above market value price for his interest in the property...he refused. He also wants to partition the property...its only 7 acres and cannot be partitioned fairly because the house and the pond sit within an acre. We are tired...we told him that the only condition of keeping the property would be to keep it in the family with no partitions of the property. We would keep it as a place to visit, have family bbq,s ect.
He said no...ok, what happens now...I would rather sell it, than agree to partition and fence my fathers beautiful property to a crack head.
What happens in court when four siblings cannot agree on how to manage the property that they all own?(will own) The quick deeds have not been signed so the property still belongs to my father.
How do we hold him liable for the property he sold and didnt distribute? Small claims? he sold property that wasnt his!
I know the majority rules in these cases...but as it stands right now it seems to be two siblings against two siblings...
Its so sad, to have to deal with this crap...
