Real Estate Quandary

[R Grubaugh]

We have property in Wyoming that was originally homesteaded by my wife's grandfather. The land has passed from him to his children and now to my wife and sisters. When the land was transferred to she and her sisters, one sister separately deeded her portion, 16 acres, of the 64 acres leaving the remaining portion in one surveyed plot with three names as owners. These remaining sisters would like to separate their plots to make transfer to their children more feasible. Has the law in the state changed to allow this to happen or is there any other way to accomplish what they desire?

Call the county recorder's office and tell them that you want to partition the plot and what process do you need to do this. This process varies. Some places require that a legal proceeding is filed. Others allow siblings to just hire a surveyor to get legal descriptions and lines and boundaries for each plot, then file that at the recorder's then a process happens for it to go onto the county rolls for taxation and assessment purposes.
