Lot split of shared ownership of land/homes.

[cndyscrttrs]

I share ownership of 22 acres of land/homes with my mother. I wish to lot split the property. My mother has given in Trust half ownership to my brother when she passes on. My brother in turn wants to sell. I want my half. Can a lot split be done before my mother dies. And if so, what is the procedure.

If two or more owners cannot agree on what to do with a piece of property they may petition the court and the court will order a sale or refinancing etc. so that the one or more may get out of the property obligation and/or the other(s) may keep it etc.--it is often done-- (This is true in some cases even for equitable owners that have paid various amounts etc., but for various reasons, may not be on title.)
