More details to this question:
She now wants to sell so we offered $30k which she said she would take. She told her real estate agent to draw up the contract but is now backing out of this because my wife's sister told her not to because she could get more money without dividing the land. My father-in-law & her agreed in 1994 to sign over 1 acre which my house sits on but she hasn't done that either. Even though the land was paid off in 2006 when he passed away.

You simply have lots and lots of unfullied and unacted upon promises here. Whether you have a sale for $30k or not - if she wont go through with it you will have to sue your wifes mother it will likely cost you a good bit of legal fees to fight over such and agreement to try to enforce it. There is no way to tell what a judge would rule or how this will all pan out without reviewing all the details - and thats part of the legal expense.
