what type of lawyer i need to handle a partition of property before the court when another try to prevent the sale of the property 25/75%

Before resorting to lawyers and lawsuits, I suggest you contact a neighborhood and family mediation service, like SEEDS Community Relations Center in Berkeley, to try to work this out using a trained professional mediator who specializes in non-legal resolutions. They will contact her and try to convince her that mediation is the right way to negotiate this dispute. If that doesn't work, then you could hire our firm to try to talk her out of it, and if that doesn't work, then we could sue her for you. I don't think it will come to that. If you appreciate this free advice, please remember to refer me to any friends or acquaintances who need a lawyer. Referrals are still our best source of new business. Do you have a revocable living trust to protect your heirs against probate? Probate takes forever, is expensive, and is annoying. Do your family a favor. Set up a trust, and put all your property, especially any real property, into the trust. Since it is revocable, you can change it, add to it, take property out of it, or even cancel it completely, at any time. We set up such trusts, provide a pour-over will as a back-up for any property that does not make it into the trust, provide you with blank durable powers of attorney for health care and financial decisions, in case you become incapable of making such decisions while still alive, and convey one piece of real property to the trust, usually the family home, for $1500.00. If you would like to hire me to do this, let me know, and I'll send you a list of the information I need.   Dana Sack
