Technically, you may.
Depending upon a number of factors, this could cause problems between you and your cousin, and could cause future problems between your cousin and the new owner. The answer may also depend upon whether there is a mortgage at issue. I would do this very carefully. If you would like to discuss or brainstorm, feel free to give our office a call at 617-357-4898.
