Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Nebraska
Land inherited from a trust
I inherited land from my parents along with two sisters. It is an individed 1/6 interest. Can I force this land for sale to get my money?

Re: Land inherited from a trust
It depends on whether the terms of the trust convey title to each of you individually or holds title for the benefit of each heir. If your name appears on the deed, then you may force the sale of the land, but it is generally unwise to do so. Forcing partition of title is the most expensive way of selling real estate and you do not have absolute control of the terms of sale or selling price. It would be smarter and cheaper to negotiate terms that are acceptable to you and your sisters. If you decide to force the sale anyway, you will need to hire an attorney.
