We have a property on which I have a tax waiver filed with the courts and the property was in my mothers name only.(Devorced) My step father was and still is living in the House/Property and I have been letting him pay the property insurance and propertyy taxes in my mothers name still.Now he has someone moved in with him and no longer sends me reciepts for the taxes and insurance he pays. I want top know how I could go about either selling the property or changing it over to me and my brother and sisters name and making my step father pay rent while he is still living their. He does not want to move I live in Caliofornia.And he is not very cooperative. Do I need to sell the property? Or change title to cover our assets?

as the Administrator of the estate, you have the right to sell the property. You can sign a listing agreement, and the deed of sale in your capacity as Admininstrator. You can also contact the tax collector in the otwn in which the property is located, and determine whether or not the taxes have been paid.
