You should not rely on or take action based on this communication without first presenting ALL relevant details to a competent attorney in your jurisdiction and then receiving the attorney's individualized advice for you.

If you do not agree, then stop right here, and do not read any further.

Your question is not very clear. If the person no longer has an interest, he/she has no right to file for partition. If the person retained an interest as joint tenant, then he/she can file for partition to determine the individual rights of each party.

Re: Partition

If a party is on title to property with another, either by way of joint tenancy or tenants in common, that party has the right to partition the property if the owners cannot agree on how to manage and/or dispose of the property. Should you need any assistance with regard to such partition action, please contact the undersigned to discuss the nature of that representation and the costs of same. Thank you.
