I have owned a property in NY for 30+ years. 13 years ago I got real sick and was not sure I would live. At the suggestion of my dad I added my sister on the deed JTWROS. Well I did not die but we never did remove her. I have recently gotten married and wish my wife to inherit at least 1/2 of the property if not all.
Obviously, the deed idea was bad estate planning for you. Unfortunately, your sister is going to have to sign a new deed, or there is nothing you can do.
