Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Arizona
land partnership dispute
I live in Arizona but I own
some land in N.J. (held as
joint tenants in common)
along with my brother as co
owner. I want to get out of
this partnership and I have
offered to sell the land or
perhaps have him purchase
my share. I want desperately
to have my name removed
from the deed yet he
continues to do nothing
about the situation. All I ever
hear is that he is working on
title insurance and other
details but nothing has
happened in two years now.
To make maters worse, I
have a MD. address and I
know he is living there but he
travels often and is very
secretive about his life and
this can make it difficult if not
impossible to deal with any
situation which may occur
concerning the land. Is there
anything I can do legally to
either force him to buy my
share or to force the sale of
the remaining property so
that I can end this situation?
Can I force some time frame
declairing that the title would
need to be transfered by no
later than some future stated
date?

Re: land partnership dispute
You can file an action in the court called a
"partition" requesting that the property be divided between you, or if that is not practical, that it be sold and the net proceeds divided equally. You will have to do that in the state where the property lies; you cannot do that in your home state of Arizona. The court has no jurisdiction.
Good luck.
