Legal Question in Real Estate Law in California

A few years after my parents died, I transferred 50% of my family home to my brother. He has lived there and has abused my asset, including taking out a mortgage, in his name only on a home that hand none. What is my next step to either buy him out or have the house sold-he will not be agreeable.

You made him a 1/2 owner, so now you get to either negotiate a settlement, or file a 'accounting and partition' legal action to force the sale or buy out of the interests of the parties. If serious about hiring counsel to help in this, and if this is in SoCal courts, feel free to contact me. I�ll be happy to help get the best outcome possible
