His dad died without a will and my uncle found out about several other brothers and sisters he never knew about and now they are all part owners of the house. My uncle still lives there and the rest of the owners refuse to pay their portion of yearly property taxes, so he has to cover all of it himself and take the rest to small claims court. Their defense is that he should have to pay them rent to live in the house he grew up in and still refuse to pay back. Is there anyway he can force them off the deed?

However, he may buy them out by offering a certain sum of money. This may convince his siblings to sign over their share of property in his name. _________________ Procrastination is the enemy of your financial success

If they do that, they will only be able to sell for what the property is currently valued at and my uncle would only get about $7000 and he would be homeless. Can they legally do that to him? He let his nephew, and pregnant wife with their small son move in when his nephew was laid off. They do not pay him rent, only help with utilities, but they will bé sent to the streets as well if the home is forced to be sóld. Can they all be forced to the streéts just because the other people on the deed want a few thousand dollars?

He won't be considered as the owner of the property. Thanks
