If she doesn't want to buy your half, you do have the right to force a

sale to get your half. Also probably something that you don't want to

do, but does give you some negotiating leverage.



Good luck - your situation is one of the more unfortunate ones that come

with "family".

I'm going to agree with the "Give it up and feel good about yourself" crowd. Even if you write the most ironclad of contracts,
it is (at least round here) virtually impossible to evict someone. The bank account is sealed up in her name, she legally owes you absolutely zero there.

Yep, the the bank account is in her name, there is no money left, and
she has a negative net worth.

You could spend big bucks on lawyers who will not likely get you anything or you could talk with your sister about the situation
and let her make a suggestion. An easy way out, maybe is to sell Mom's house and let Sis buy another of her own.

Here's where I made it worse, I actually signed paperwork with a realtor
that she called, I pointed out she should try to stay in the house,
because she will never be able to rent any place this cheap.
So, she stalled and looked for a mortgage, then after a couple weeks she
told me she couldn't get a mortgage, so she would sell it. A couple
weeks later the realtor called me, because he could not get a hold of
her. I called her and she said, the more she thought about it, she knew
there was nothing to rent cheaper than owning the house. Now she is
getting her finances in order, so she can get a mortgage.
