Assuming there was a will, it is the job of the executor(s) to apply for probate and, once granted, deal with the estate. Its the executor's job to do what the will says - not what one of the beneficiaires wants. So the executor is in control of the situation - not the sibling. But if the sibling wants cash and not one third of a house, that is what the executor is going to have to deliver. That means selling the house.
ta buildersmate;
to clarify, the siblings are also the executors. at present, one wants to sell. one doesn't, & the third wants to delay, maybe for years. so a majority would delay a sale at least. is there any way one can force the sale so she can get her inheritance in a reasonable time? (there's already been a year since the death).
