Re: Dividing of Deceased Grandfathers Farm

Assuming your Mother owns an undivided one third interest as a tenant in common with your unclwe and can not work out a fair arrangement with him, she might contact an attorney about filing a Petition to Partition the Property.

Re: Dividing of Deceased Grandfathers Farm

Assuming your mother has a valid 1/3 interest she would be entitled to one third of the net proceeds from the property.

If your uncle and his wife wanted to sell the property and your mother did not, then they could file a petition to partition the property or vice versa.

I hope this is helpful to you. If you have additional questions, please contact me.
