Estates

It depends on how the estate was distributed. If the property was left to a specific person, no, they cannot force the sale. If it is part of the estate in general, they can force the sale or require the person who wants it to pay them for their share.

You must file an objection to the guardianship and show up in court the day of the hearing and explain your objections to the court. You can request to be appointed the guardian.

You may want to consult with an attorney who can review the situation, explain your options and draft your motions to the court.

If 2 people enter into a rental/ownership agreement for an amount of time, the contract must be upheld. If one person leaves, then they are obligated to either continue making payments or find a new tennent to take his/her place in the house. The person who remains in the house can take the other person to court for breach of contract. In the mean time, a new tennent must be found and keep all evidence that ads were placed and effort was made to fill the vacancy. If it is brought before a judge, this will help in court.

Not only can they charge you rent which you should gladly pay because they now have a vested interest in that property, they can choose to sell it, unless in the will it was stated otherwise. I would come to a compromise with them before your out of place to live. A house inherited is a gift to all but it is also an expense to upkeep and maintain. Let's say a house is worth $300,000 and there are 3 kids involved. Well, that could mean 100,000 each if they sell and no headaches. Now you have one sibling living in a place and theres is no income coming from the place, either by renting or selling, but there is still upkeep and maintainance. You cant see their point of view because your not shelling out anything and getting to stay in the place for free. If you can buy out their shares and the house can be yours. If not be fair buck up the money to live there and be prepared to pay for most of the maintainance yourself because you are using the home, not them.

Many states have statutes that give a surviving spouse a right to claim part of the estate even without any mention in the will that the decedent was married (or re-married) at the time of death.

This is the reason a will is so important for anyone who not a minor. It should be redone as soon you get married, have children and perhaps change it every 5 years after that. It varies from state to state. If there was not a will that listed the new wife, most states are going to protect both parties. Your father's new wife will get half the estate and his children, particularly if they are minors, will divide up the remaining half. Naturally, debtors and the government get their share. If you were not named as heirs in your father's will then it's up to your step-mother as to what she gives his children. But this could be a case where the will could be contested, citing undue influence. As always, consult a probate attorney in your jurisdiction for specifics.

She cannot force the sale of the home, but she can file a lawsuit and request that the property be partitioned. The judge would decide if the property would be subject to sale. Judges generally give the person who does not want to sell the property the opportunity to buy out the other owner(s). This would only be possible if there were not terms included in the will forbidding the sale of the property, such as the bequest of a life estate.

If she was left the house by terms of a will, you are not entitled to any of the proceeds.

If you and she were left the house together, then you are entitled to a portion of the proceeds, and to a say in whether or not the house is sold in the first place.

Consult an attorney. There are few states that pass a law stating that a "niece" of a decedent's "paternal grandfather" has any special rights. If the law mentions any relatives, they are typically mentioning the spouse and children. From there, possibly the immediate family - of which "grandfather's neice" is not amongst them.

An attorney in your area can give you more specific advice, but if you aren't named in that will, your "rights" are non-existent.
