• I am an owner of a property of an undivided interest with my two other sisters.

  Asked in Bastrop, TX

  My grandparents died, and they were survived by their son and my mom. My mom died, so my uncle decided what everyone got, and he had a partition deed. I didn't really want to sign it, but I did in the agreement that he'd give me $60,000 in June. But then he said he couldn't, in case my daughter came back and sued him. Now he's asking to borrow small amounts, like $100 here, a couple hundred there, and said I had to take $20,000 less. It's not a binding thing. It's just an amendment to the partition deed, but he didn't honor his part. So my two sisters and I already own the house, and I want my sister to buy me out, sell, or pay us rent, and she refuses. She's been living out there with her adult kids, and she won't even let us stay out there or go out there. What can I do in this situation, because I'm struggling, and I need cash to help me get on my feet.
