A: Was the will probated? If not then it has no effect. Then the heirs at law own the property, and yes, each heir can demand a Partition in Court. You might argue your contributions entitle you to a larger share from the net proceeds of the sale. Hire am AR lawyer to search the title and determine heirship.
