What is the name of your state? South Carolina

My Sister and I inherited my mothers house together, she owns half and I own half, but we cannot see eye to eye on things. I just want to sell it but she doesn't want too. What options do I have in this matter.

She is telling me that it cannot be sold even if one side wants to sell it.

Read all this stuff (and have your sister read it too.)

What options do I have in this matter.

Very simple. Contact a local attorney and file a 'partition suit'.

She is telling me that it cannot be sold even if one side wants to sell it.

partition
n. a lawsuit which one co-owner of real property can file to get a court order requiring the sale of the property and division of the profits, or division of the land between the co-owners, which is often a practical impossibility. Normally, a partition order provides for an appraisal of the total property, which sets the price for one of the parties to buy out the other's half. Partition cases are common when co-owners differ on whether to sell, keep or divide the property.
