Can you please expand on your explanation as what you have written here is a bit vague.* However, if I understand correctly, your mother is a joint beneficiary in a will receiving 50% of a property.* Your mothers sister wishes to accept an offer for the property and split the money, as per the will.* Your mother does not think the offer is enough and refuses to give her consent for the sale to go ahead.* Your mother has every right not to accept the offer if it well below market value.* I presume a valuation of the property has been recorded.* As far as your mothers sister taking court action to resolve the problem.* This is possible and your mother should consult a solicitor if this does happen.* However, there are other ways of resolving this problem.* For example mediation or alternative dispute resolution.* These will need to be exhausted before any court action and may save a substantial amount of money.
