Any one of the co-owners has the right to petition for the sale of the house! All co-owners must agree to keep property but if even one wants their share they can by law get their share.

When land is under co-ownership of two or more people who cannot agree on what to do with the land, any owner can file a Petition to Partition in the appropriate court.

The court has the power to divide the land if that is feasible such as when there are multiple tracts or a single large tract. If dividing the land is not feasible then the court can order a sale and the net proceeds are divided according to each owner's interest after the costs and expenses associated with the Partition have been deducted. You should consult with an attorney who specializes in real estate law.

Six siblings are in the midst of selling deceased parents' home One wants to leave his share to girlfriend should he dies before sale Is this legal?

If your brother survived your parent and has inherited a share in the property he can make a will leaving his interest to his girlfriend. In fact, that's exactly what he should do if he wants her to have his share in the event of his death. Otherwise, his share would pass according to the state laws of intestacy to his heirs at law. Generally, his heirs at law would be his spouse and children or if he has none, his siblings.

Joint inherited property Sister wants to sell. want to buy her half and let it out. pay full 50 percent of valuation or is it fair to deduct a percent for no estate agent and poor property condition?

The most accurate amount would be to get it appraised and base it on that. That will account for poor property condition. It would be reasonable to negotiate some percentage for not having to pay real estate broker/agents.
