I have a legal question regarding a property that I wanted to inquire.

If there is a shop that was inherited by 5 siblings, with 20% equal share each, under what circumstances can one force a sale on the property?

Can 3 out of the 5 siblings force the other 2 to sell the shop? Do we have to go to court for this?

It is unlikely any of the other 2 would be able to buy over the shares of the other 3. So the only option is to sell?

What is the process of doing this?

the property title have all 5 names in it??

if yes. kinda needed everyone approvals in writing to sell... no such thing as majority rules....

It's an inheritance with no mortgage and the 5 siblings are well into their 60s-70s.
It's gonna be a cluster-f if one of the kicks the bucket cos even among themselves, they can't decide what to do with it.

Is it worth going to court to force a sale cos it's gonna be a ticking time bomb later on when some of them passes n their share being further divided among their children?

Hard choice...

But need everyone the 5 siblings to discuss on next action... Negotiate & slow talk to find solution.... No other way....

I know sone of these people have like feelings towards the property... Like sentimental reasons... Later on big problem like u say... 

Because in my dad side family have the same issues... And got like 12 people qualify & they all over the world... US, UK, Singapore, HK, Australia & Canada.... Really messy situation... Lucky one of them is lawyer... So little easier... Agreement & documents all done online summited 😏💪

Yeap one or 2 are against the selling of the shop due to sentimental value. I'm just worry it's gonna be a bigger shit show later on (it's kinda is as of now).

Is there a way to file a request for the court to force the sale? I would expect the ones would quickly fold if someone initiate a legal action to request the court to intervene.

I think there's some context that was lost in the initial post. If my parent is one of the 5 owners of the property, can they, along with other 3 siblings, go to court to force the other 2 to sell it since there's 3 siblings who wanted to sell?
