Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Connecticut

i have a property in Peru that was inherited to me and my brother. The property needs to be sold but i am having a hard time getting the message to my brother. In the past 2 years i been trying to get my brother to sign the deeds over to me because he does not want to be part of the inheritance. In an notarized letter he wrote that he doesnt want anything to do with the family or the property; he was to be let alone and not bothered. I already showed the letter to the Peru embassy but they dont consider this letter important. Therefore i wrote another letter to him with a lawyer asking him to stop by the ambassy to sign necessary documentation to forfeit his property rights. He replied with a nasty letter saying that he made it clear that he doesnt want to be part of the inheritance and that he doesnt want anything to do with me or family. What can I do to have him sign or have the embassy talk to him? He refuses to talk to the embassy

In Connecticut, and most US states, any owner can force a sale of real estate, even without the co-operation of other owners. It's inefficient, but it gets the job done. Contact a Peruvian abogado to see if Peru has a similar law.
