California Probate Joint Tenants Question

[David Oldenburg]

I have a client who has been on title since 2006 with 2 other people. One of them recently passed away, so the two are left.  This leaves the remaining 2 holding title 50/50.  My client wants to sell the home and split the proceeds, but the other person on title does not.  Theey keep saying that the property was mentioned in a Will, and that they need to wait etc... While I have no experience in the laws behind Wills and Probate, I do know that the person who passed away had no debt and no obligations.  I have suggested they hire an attorney since they want to sell, and the other person does not.   Does anyone know how this can be handled quickly, since the are not communicating and able to handle this on their own?
