Selling my home with someone else on the deed

I want to sell my home in Pittsburg but my nephew is on the Deed and will not work with me. Can I still sell it? I need some advice as to how we can get this property sold as he has been collecting the rents solely himself for approximately 5 years. I no longer want to be responsible and my name is First on the Deed. The home was my mother's home. He is only a grandson.

I am a real estate agent in MA and we are an attorney state. In our state you would need to hire an attorney to help change the deed and typically there is consideration that needs to be included in this transfer. If you have a mortgage on the property you will need to do a refinance on the property to get him off the deed. To see the property you need his cooperation or need to hire an attorney and go to court to a judge to help with a partition for sale. Tough situation so good luck.
