Re: force sell
The short answer is that you can usually force a sale of property to get out of joint ownership. But you cannot usually force the other owner to buy you out. Meaning, if you find someone to buy the house, you can usually force the sale to go through.
Your question is not worded very clearly, but I would be happy to talk to you about the details if you'd like to give us a call.
