Is it possible to sell a share of the estate of a deceased person?

JTC: Is it possible to sell a share of the estate of a deceased person?
My granparents recently died, dividing their estate among their four children, my father, uncle, and 2 aunts. This estate consists of a considerable amount of property. My uncle and aunts all seem determined to claim ALL of the estate for themselves and refuse to act on selling the property or working together at all.

So, I want to know if my father can legally sell his share and get out of this nightmare. This has been going on for two years and I am tired of seeing him suffer. Please help if you are familiar with this at all.

No, you can’t sell an interest in the estate. What he needs is a decent attorney who can take the matter to probate court.

As a heir he has the right to force the will to be probated. The probate court will see that they split everything up according to the porvisions of the will. Once this is done he is free to do what ever he wants with his property.

If the other heirs are delaying and the executor is not doing their job, then your father will need to consult with an attorney.

Your father cannot sell his share of the property until the estate has transferred title to him.

Your father shoud hire an attorney to force the estate to distribute the property. Alternatively, the judge could require a judicial sale of all the property and split the proceeds among the heirs in proportion to the expressed wishes of yu kate grandparents.

A judge cannot transfer title to property, but he can order a judicial sae of the property.
