Dear Mr. Premack: Two out of three heirs want to sell all real property. The third heir disagrees, wants to keep the property but cannot afford to buy the shares of the other two siblings. How long does the third heir have before he must decide to buy the property or to give in to the others and sell it? – SCB Since you mention “heirs” I assume that the real property is being passed to these three siblings after the death of both of their parents. The answer to your question
Usually the will is filed for probate by the person nominated as Executor. If that has not happened, the Probate Code allows “any interested person” to initiate the probate proceedings. An “interested person” includes heirs, devisees, spouses, creditors, or any others having a property right in, or claim against, the estate being administered. Hence, any creditor, secured or unsecured, has standing to initiate a probate. ===== A BRIEF is a short answer to a legal question #Br
