Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Florida

Joint Deed

My Husband and his brother own 40 acres with a house. The brother put all 8 sibblings on his half of the intrest. My husband did not agree to this and was not informed until he got a lawyer and found out. We know my husband owns 9/16ths of the intrest. Does this mean he has the say so of what happens to the land? And also can he tell his brother if he can move a trailer on the land or not? I need to know if by owning more intrest in the land my husband has what legals rights? Thank you.

Re: Joint Deed

there is legal and then there is practical. A joint deed means that both own the land. One cannot use it for his benefit soley but it must be used for the benefit of the joint tenants. Practical: If you complain your recourse is to file a partion lawsuit to have the property sold.
