Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Ohio

Co-ownership of house

My mom and I co-own a house. One of my sisters has taken our mom to live with her and wants us to sell the house. Can this legally be done without my mom's written permission? I do not want this to be an adversarial process, since I was the only child (of many) who was willing to help our mom get into a house. Thank you
