Or joint owners with 5 brothers and sisters, that you may or may not like and trust, or may not like or trust you.

Not to get into too much detail about her and her family - she feels like they are taking advantage of her and also she believes her sisters are not being honest about the situation. 

The situation: my mother-in-law owns a condo with her sisters and they are looking to pass the ownership on to my wife, her brother, and my wife's cousins. 

Assuming I'll have to open up the 1st floor ceiling and pay to have several joists sistered.

@John Battle thank you so much for your advice, btw I have a sister moving to Wilmington NC in a few weeks, seems like a neat place😊

Her MIL verbally told my wife and her sister gets her home, but never got around to specify in the will or a trust. 

My sister in law is looking for some legal advice re cash for keys and eviction in riverside county area.. any recommendations would be appreciated

Each Tenant on the lease can legally have one additional occupant (and the additional occupant’s kids if applicable) and immediate family (brother, sister, mom, dad, and kids) stay in YOUR apartment and there is nothing you can do about it.

My sisters friend lived in a condo with a broken lock on the sliding glass door.

We've been paying to rent here seasonally for the past few years for about $7500/season (split with my sister-in-law's family), so we know the area super-well.
