Hello Sandra, it's nice to meet you. How may I assist you with your legal issue today?
* siblings own the land our parents left us. One brother is terrorizing us. Making changes to the land, trying to exclude us from the electricity, sewer and water. We are all on the title. He is now threatening to get his lawyer involved and put a stop to us doing anything. I am a disabled veteran, my sister is disabled. He has attacked my husband in the past. We need help. We don’t know what to do.
I'm sorry to hear you're going through this, Sandra. To better assist you, could you please let me know in which state the property is located?

- Pursue a partition action, forcing a sale or division of the property.
- Seek a restraining order against your brother.
- File a lawsuit for nuisance or trespass if he's making unauthorized changes.
Please consider consulting a local attorney for personalized advice.
