Panama City, FL asked in Real Estate Law for Alabama

Q: Sister had Mother deemed incompetent now she is selling off her property. Is that legal, mother is still alive???

Is there a law in the state of Alabama where the living children have first option to buy at fare market value?

My sister after having my mother and grandmother deemed incompetent a few years ago. Has started selling off the property the first property I tried to buy at fair market value however, she decided to sell it to someone else for less money. (My son offered her more money than the couple she sold it to)

I am just trying to stop the sale of the property that has been in our family for over 100 yrs.

I know my mother had a will however, my sister found it and said, it isn't legal?

A: If your sister is the legal guardian, then yes she can liquidate property for the benefit of the guardianship. You ask if there is a law in Alabama, related to this matter. If the property being sold is in Alabama you need to post this question in Alabama or hire an Alabama attorney to check into the matter. If the property is in Florida then hire an attorney here to look into the matter.
