Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Maine

Re: Mortgage

Yes- sale could be forced by Court action known as a "Partition". The Judge in such a case would try to explore if one party can buy the other out, or to see if the property could physically be divided, but it is usually the case that it must be sold.

However, like any litigation, it can be time consuming and cost thousands of dollars to pursue to conclusion. Settlement negotiated along the way is typically preferrable to both sides.
