Is it possible to litigate and enforce the sale of an inherited home through an estate?

First, you’ll need to find out if your grandmother left a valid Will in the court’s eyes. If the Will is deemed valid, does it clearly indicate who is to inherit the house? If it does, that heir is entitled to obtain ownership and possession of the home and do with it what he or she pleases. You cannot force that party to sell the house if that was not provided for in your grandmother’s Will.

You need to hire an experienced probate attorney to pursue this matter further. Be ready to ask your attorney if there’s any type of provision in the Will that states that any party who contests it will take nothing under it. If you really believe the Will is not very clear, try to work out a fair division of your grandmother’s property with all of your relatives. Far too many families become bitterly divided after some members selfishly conspire to take more than their fair share.
