Do all heirs have to agree before the Mayfair home can be sold?

In Saskatchewan, generally yes: when a home passes to more than one heir, every co-owner has to consent before it can be listed and sold, since each heir holds a registered interest through Information Services Corporation. Disagreement does not block a sale forever, it moves the decision into estate administration or, if that stalls, a court application.

The estate's executor manages the sale on behalf of all heirs, but a hold-out can still delay things, since major decisions typically need unanimous sign-off among the beneficiaries before a listing goes live.

One common resolution is a buy-out, where one heir purchases the others' shares at a price a lawyer documents rather than one the family negotiates informally; that legal work is part of what legal fees of $800 to $1,500 typically cover in a straightforward estate.

If heirs are genuinely deadlocked, an application to Court of King's Bench for partition and sale is the last resort. Get your hand-reviewed valuation from Joel Dyck.
