Re: Heir Property
Yes, after a proper deed of heirship or affidavit has been recorded in the land records of the appropriate circuit court, the one disaffected sister should be able to sell her share of the property to the other heir siblings.
Nevertheless, it would appear prudent to involve a local attorney to at least review and advise the parties with respect to any actions which they may contemplate in this matter.
