Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Maryland

getting my share

ok let me try this again, boyfriend & I had house built on property left to him in will. My name added to property and mortage so house would be built. Six years later I need out due to his addiction problems, he paid 12k down but only he claimed house on taxes filed for five years straight until I screamed it wasn't fair, now I'm packed ready to go and want my monies due me (buy out) only asking for payments I made and 1/4 of what the equity is now, house has more than tripled in vaule and I need something so I can buy another home and not be homeless, he states I won't get a dime , well I know I can ( ? ) where do I start I don't want to drag this out because he may become violent.

If there is a real possobility of violence, get out of there now. Do not wait for this to be resolved because it can 6 mos. to a year before the litigation is completed. He cannot sell the house or re-finance it without your consent. Best option is to leave in safety and file action immediately in court.

Re: getting my share

If your name is on the deed, you will get more than 1/4 of the net fair market value. you'll get whatever percentage you own... and itsounds as if you deservw it too.

you may need to file a type of lawsuit to "sell in lieu of partition".

feel free ro call and chat if you have any wuestions about how it would work.
