More details to this question:
My grandma is living in a house that her husband has bought her. Since he has passed away his son name is under the house. She wants to sell the house but he said he wouldn't sign off the house unless he gets $27,000 from her. She doesn't owe him any money. What can she do to not pay him?

Your grandmother has a right called Homestead in the property if it was owned by her husband at the time of her death. If her name was not on the deed, then she can still claim rights to the property. Your grandmother needs to see a probate attorney.
