Brother And I Are 50/50 In Mother’s Trust. We Verbally Agreed To Not Sell It For 10 Years. Now He Wants To Sell It And Threatened To Put Partition Act In Place.

Home location: Illinois

My location: Los Angeles

Brother: Salt Lake City

My original post got removed so I’ll make this more direct.

Mother passed in August. I’m the trustee and we get 50/50. In October we had a phone conversation about plans for my mothers home and we both agreed financially it made sense to not sell it until the mortgage was paid off (~10yrs) - my brother and I have not been on good terms since she passed.

Suddenly this week he reached out to me that he wants it sold ASAP and says he plans to put a partition act in motion.

My question: who is in charge of selling my mother’s furniture, clothes , etc inside the home and then the fees with the process of selling the home (getting it ready by painting, etc). Such as finding the real estate agent and all that?

Part of me wants to say “fine, you want do move forward with selling it then you take care of all the legwork” and let him deal with it and just collect my 50% and over with (yes, this is an emotional response that I’m just sharing here and not going to actually tell him this)
