Best Answer

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.

Can an executor sell house against wishes of beneficiaries if liquidation of the house is not necessary to cover estate expenses or taxes?

If the power to sell real estate was granted in the will then the executor has the power to sell it. However, if ALL the beneficiaries agree that the property should be retained they should insist the property not be sold. Remember that the beneficiaries own the real estate. If the executor proceeds to try to sell the property the beneficiaries should petition the court to review the matter ASAP.


Can executors sell a house willed to seven beneficiaries where two beneficiaries do not want it sold?

If two of the beneficiaries want to keep the property then they should try to work out an agreement with the remaining beneficiaries to buy out their shares for a fair price. However, the executor may have the power to sell the real estate. The testator often gives that power right in the will. In that case, the executor may sell the property without any license from the court. If the power to sell was not granted in the will the executor must apply for a license to sell the real estate. The two beneficiaries may object to the sale. However, they should be prepared to offer an alternative since five of the beneficiaries do want to sell. Unless they offer to buy out the other beneficiaries the court is likely to issue the license to sell.
