I’d inform her, in writing, by USPO, certified and receipted, that unless she schedules a conference with you & your lawyer in next 2 weeks, you’ll be filing a Partition Action and asking the court to order the property be sold and the proceeds split between you.
Plus an accounting for whatever rents she’s taken in as the sole manager. As you’ll be getting half that too.
As I’ve said before, PA’s are rarely really necessary to file, but their threat/promise normally gets the parties together and gets the deal settled.
No real defense to the PA, but it would cost you both the court costs & attorneys’fees and time and hassle.
The PA is so easy, can’t imagine what’s holding up your atty., but if he/she won’t act immediately, fire him/her and go elsewhere.
