What is the name of your state? Missouri. My step father past away 5 years ago. He left my mother a life estate (at the house) with the following exceptions:
She may live there until her death, she may sale, convey or dispose of the said property provided all proceeds are equally divided between my mother and his two children. They are giving us a lot of trouble they have stated that she can not sell the property. A title company says that she can if she signs a document stating that they will receive each one third. They still say that the house will not be sold. They are waiting her out (her death) so she gets nothng. She needs the money to live on as she wants to move to a much smaller place ( the house is too much to care for).
This provision was written into the warranty deed.....
Can they stop her from selling the house that she has lived in for the past 25 years.
