Me and my brother are fighting over are mother's place, he's the executer but he hasn't paid for any of the expenses to keep the place up I've paid for it all. His and my name are on the will he owns */* of the property and I own */* but my name's the only one on the deed. Can I sell the house without my brothers consent since he won't agree with me. He has held this up for 5yrs

Yes. But my attorney seems like he's siding with his attorney. Everything he wants is going his way and I'm the only one paying for the taxes, sewer bill electric bill gas for mowing and mowing and winterize it, it's getting expensive for me since I live somewhere else, I just want this settled, so I thought I'd ask another attorneys advice

I was going to do that but my attorney said I would have more money in attorney fees then what I would get out of selling the house
Have you considered mediation as an alternative to legal proceedings? It could be a less costly way to resolve your dispute.
Why would I consider medication for this
Mediation can be a cost-effective and less confrontational way to resolve disputes. It involves a neutral third party who helps both sides reach an agreement.
