Q: Inherited property cant sale unless I give other family option to buy they don't want it what proof do I need to sale
My brothers and I inherited property from grandfather with stipulations that if we want to sale we offer to other family members first they have said they don't want to buy it but what proof do I need to move on with the sale is there a certain form they should fill out releasing claim on property as I'm sure verbal agreement isn't enough
A:
First, I'm not clear how you inherited the property, i.e. was it left to you in a will? If there was a will, was it ever actually admitted to the probate court or is everyone assuming it's valid?
Generally speaking, there is a formal way for others named as beneficiary or inherited through intestate laws to disclaim or assign any interest to another; however, there are time limitations and procedures that must be followed closely in order for it to be considered a clear title.
Please speak with a probate attorney in the appropriate town or the lawyer on the estate if there is one.
