Re: partitioning inherited real property
If the parcel cannot be partioned, there is a proceeding called sale in lieu of partition where a part owner can file with the court to have the court order a sale of the property and a split of the proceeds between the owners. I encourage you to discuss this matter more fully with an attorney.
