Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Louisiana
My father passed recently. He was living in a house that was split between him and my aunts. His portion then got split to me and three sisters. Long story short, no will. So I traded my portion of the movable assets, for their portions of the immovable assets. They have since changed their minds, and are wanting additional capital for their shares. I have written proof of intentions to trade movable and immovable assets, and proof that held up my end of said bargain, notarized, and signed by all parties. If I took them to court, would I have a case? To force them to sign over their portions? Also, If I have majority ownership, can I move into the property...without fear of being forced out?

Since the situation involves real estate, the transfer to you of your sisters' interests in the property would have to have been formally done, with the transfer notarized and witnessed to be effective.
You are a co-owner of the property, so you have the right to live there.
