Legal Question in Real Estate Law in California

Re: unauthorized real estate transaction

Last case I had involving multips tenants in common, the parties were siblings who had been quarreling since they were toddlers. Escrow can be opened but, of course, one tenant in common who wants to be a stick-in-the-mud can cause huge problems. Respectfully recommend that the five of you retain, and sit down with, an neutral professional mediator and attempt to reach a consensus. Otherwise you will all incur lots of damages/legal fees when the buyer sues you all. The options at that point will be a lawsuit to partition the property which could be costly, both in terms of time and money, and could result in the property being auctioned at less than its market value.
