Hi there, I inherited a property 3 years ago from my dad who passed away. The property was left to me and my sister, our names were on the deeds as joint tenants. Ive severed the tenancy so that we are tenants in common. My sister who has been living in the house by herself for all this time is now refusing to move and won't buy me out. She was also PoA whilst dad was ill and then executor and has taken the cash etc without declaring it. Am I able to contest the probate and force a sale of the house by law?

Maybe not being very clear here. There is life insurance and savings that hasn't been distributed. The property is the other asset. I was wondering if there is a way to get her to account for everything that has gone missing in the past? She wasn't a carer, so that isn't something to consider in all this. Thanks so much to all of you for your advice so far.

Thank you. Does anyone have experience of funds going missing and how I can hold that over her head? She basically took all the money whilst she was POA

I don't have concrete proof other than I have had nothing from the estate, and I know that my father had life insurance. Thank you x
