Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Indiana
I purchased a piece of land (50 acres of farm land) as a co-owner about 15 years ago. The land is rented out as farm land. I have paid ALL of the taxes and insurance, as well as the up keep for the last 12 years. But the co-owner still receives half of the rent money every year, without contributing anything to the property. What can I do to get this co-owner off of the title?

File a partition action to divide the land and ask the court to adjust for those expenses. You can't just take his share of the land from him. You will need an attorney to do this for you.
