Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Oklahoma
My Mother signed over the house and property (Quit Claim Deed) to my brother, with the sole purpose of keeping it in the family for family gatherings and holidays. My sister lives in the house rent free to maintain it.� Out of 7 children, only the brother, and the sister that lives there want to keep the property.� No family gatherings have been held there.� None of the other siblings even sets foot on the property, they all want to sell it.� The brother that has ownership tells them that they have no say so in the property at all.� None of them know that the property is in his name. Vehicles and other items were to be sold to pay funeral expenses, none of this has been done, the brother acts like everything belongs to him.My question is, what can or needs to be done to sell this property, is a day in court the only way to end all the fighting.

You need to seek probate. I hope your family kept agreements as to why the property was quit claimed to your brother. That would help you before the court. The heirs must pay expenses before they can enjoy their inheritance.
Go ahead and retain a good probate lawyer.
