Re: joint ownership rights

Hello,

Yes, there can be a court ordered sale, or in the alternative, a court-ordered division of the property if that is possible (e.g. acreage).

The concept is called "partition" and it is an action that is filed in a Michigan Circuit Court.

The procedures are sufficiently technical such that an attorney that specializes in real property issues would be highly recommended.

Good luck,
