Can sister sell deceased Moms property even though we all signed quit claim deed
Can sister sell deceased Moms property even though we all signed quit claim deed
Hi to you all, My question is my sister wants to sell my deceased moms house-paid for-but we all-4- signed a quit claim deed after her death so that we could wait for an opportune time to sell for as much as we could get. She told my brother that if we don't want to just sell it for whatever it will sell for now that we can all buy her out, she doesn't want to deal with it anymore, she is/was trustee for moms trust, we all have equal shares 1/4 each and had to buy this house during the housing boom so paid top dollar for it. My brother and I are ok with selling it but want to get a good price, she just told me that we will get what we get when I said well you are going to make sure we get a good price for it. She claims that she has to do this by the end of the year which is the first time thats ever come up. We were under the belief that the reason we all signed the quit claim deed was so that we could wait for best time to sell, there are also people living/renting in the house. Todays date is 3/23/15. Thank you for any help you could give me regarding this issue. Sean

I was approched by a company "rent to own". I own a home and they sent me a letter wanting to "purchase my Home". But, it was to rent my home to someone that had bad credit and within 3 years or earlier the renter could purchase the property. Or the "rent to own company" would purchase my home. The renter failed to give the "rent to own company" the funds to pay the mortgage. 9 out of the 12 months was late and 2 of these payment were past the grace period. The renter was finally evicted from my home. The "rent to own company" promised to pay the last 2 months that were past due but never paid. I decided to pay these payments myself because I didn't want my credit score to go any lower than it already was. I decide to list my home with a realtor, I informed the "rent to own" company that they were no longer the property manager or what ever they call themselves, changed the locks on my house, cleaned the house and listed the house below market value and "as is". I received an offer within 2 days with an extra $6000.00. A title search was done and the "rent to own" company had added their name to the title. "The rent to own" company will not sign the release paper to have their name taken off the title. I was suppossed to have closed on the house this week but has been postponed for a week, hoping the "rent to own" company will do the right thing and release themselves from the title on my house. To me they did not fulfil that obligation in making sure my mortgage was paid. They did not have my best interests taken care of. I have contacted a lawyer. The only thing I want is to be able to proceed with the sell of my house next week. What are my chances of this happening? If not I'm thinking about sueing them because my credit score is in the 600s. thank you for your time
