What will you do if you own real estate as tenants in common and you want to sell that property and the other owner does not want to sell? Or if you want to keep the property, and the other owner wants to sell?

The answer is a partition action, which transfers ownership to the other party. In many cases, this can be done by agreement between the parties, the drafting of documents and a simple transaction that results in a transfer from one party to the other. In some cases however, serious disputes can arise over issues involving the value of the property, each party's ownership interest, each party's share of the mortgage obligation and tax liabilities.
