Legal Question in Real Estate Law in New York

selling land

my deceased husband bought land with three other people while we were married. can they sell this land without my signature or permission?

The deed does not state sole proprietor, it reads. together with appurtenances and all the estate and rights of the parties of the first part in and to said premises, to have and to hold the premises herin granted unto the parties of the second part, their heirs and assigns forever.

Re: selling land

Absent a Court Restraining Order, (or specific Deed "limitations"), surviving co-owners of property, CAN sell or transfer their property, share or interest, without the signature or permission of a deceased co-owner's surviving spouse.

Good luck,

If your name is not on the deed, then you have no interest in it other than through his will or estate, provided that the names of the owners are not held as a joint tenancy.

If you are the legal executor for his estate than it sounds as if they need your permission.
