Q:
Can
a co-owner force someone off a shared deed?
A:
In some states, a co-owner often can
force the sale of a shared property by filing
a so-called partition action. In such a
situation, if the severance is granted,
the property would be sold and the owners
would split the proceeds proportionate to
their interest in the property.
You should
check your title for any references to
such a severance action. You may need
to consult a real estate attorney.
