Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Michigan

If the property is held is joint tenants with full rights of survivorship, none of the owners can force a sale without the rest of the owners agreeing. Albro v. Allen is the main Michigan case (link is below). It's a complicated analysis, but the short version is this. Each owner has a life estate with a contingent remainder. This case says that you can partition the life estate only, but not the remainder. There is really no market for a partitioned life estate, so in fact everyone is stuck until all owners agree.
