We have heir property in Virginia. There are four heirs to the family home. One lives in the house. Is there an easy way to buy out the family members (using the property for collateral) that does not entail all parties being present in VA to sign over there rights to the house? The heirs live in California, Michigan and Virginia. We are being told that all the heirs must sign their names on the dotted line in front of the judge (with their spouses, if married). This is not cost effective nor can it be done in a reasonable manner. Any suggestions.
