Hello Kelly,

In view of the problem you are currently encountering, you are only left with the alternative of carrying out the liquidation of the property which you currently own with your sister, and of requesting the sale of it through the courts for its equal distribution. This is a slower and rather more expensive way than carrying it out with her consent but unfortunately is the only way if she refuses to agree on it.
