Question:
Can a co-owner force someone off a shared deed?
Answer:
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.
