Legal Update

Partition Actions (Part 1)

With

Christopher J. Charles, Esq.,

Joint ownership of real estate provides many benefits, including increased buying opportunity, shared expenses, avoidance of probate, and shared risk/liability. Co-ownership also provides opportunities for disagreement. Indeed, a significant risk associated with any shared interest in real property surrounds the question of how to equitably divide the real property in the event that fewer than all joint owners wish to sell their interest in the property. In other words, what options exist if one, but not all, of the joint owners want to sell the property? The answer to this question is easy as long as the joint owners had the providence to negotiate and execute a thorough tenancy in common agreement that addresses when and how a joint owner may sell their interest in the real property and under what circumstances the real property may be sold.
