If deed is in brothers names, house can not be sold without all brothers approval. No warranty of deed or transfer of title can be made unless all, that are on said Deed, are in accord.

I work with a woman who’s sister-in-law is gravely ill with cancer. She is in the hospital with little hope of getting back to a nursing home. She is “pending” Medicare so her medical bills are piling up. She has lost all use of her limbs. She had her home deeded to her brothers (one lives out-of-state). The woman I work with is encouraging her husband (one of the brothers) to sell the home and pay for decent care of his sister. She is in a county non-profit hospital in isolation due to a horrible infection. The care is awful and she cries and begs to be moved to a different hospital that will not neglect her. The brother who lives out of state says he will not sell the house. The family has no money to help and my co-worker is broke and paying all of her sister-in-laws bills on top of her own. How can she (or better yet, her husband) sell his share of the house or what will be entailed in forcing the sale of the home all together? Any advise would be greatly appreciated.
