In an action in partition the court will order a sale.
Re: coowner of house in florida
He probably can't get what he wants. When co-owners disagree over whether to sell a house in Florida, one of them must file a partition. The result of a partition is that the judge orders an auction. When the partition is filed, though, maybe the sister will come to her senses and agree that it's best to settle the case by hiring a realtor so that more money can be made off the house.
