Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Maryland

Re: real estate

If you are unable to maintain the property by yourself, you would have to file a suit known as a partition action against the other person, in which you would ask the court to order the property sold and the proceeds divided taking into account your extra costs generated by his/her departure. If you can maintain the property, you should try and negotiate a buyout of the other party's interest. The most important thing is to get them to deed the property over to you so you can control it. Then you can sell it, refinance it, bring in another investor, etc.
