Seizure of deceased parents' home after sister's takeover?

Questioner

There are ten of us and our parents left us two houses. One in the Netherlands and one in Suriname. My sister Mariam and I were appointed as executors by our parents. Mariam and I agreed that she would handle the affairs in Suriname, because I did that for the affairs in the Netherlands. The house in the Netherlands was sold and I divided the proceeds, with everyone agreeing. Mariam promised us that the house in Suriname had to be put in her name first, before she could sell it. We agreed to that. Later she decided to buy the house and told the family that she would buy the house for the appraised value. When the house was already in her name she did not want to pay anymore and she says that we had already given her permission to dispose of the house. We had signed a declaration of authorization at her request. My question is what can we do about this? Can we seize her assets to get the money she owes us?

Lawyer

Yes, in fact your sister bought the house in Suriname from the other heirs from the estate for the appraised value. Then she also has to pay the purchase price and if she does not, you could indeed seize her goods.
