Yes, you can file a partition action and one remedy would be a forced sale. We can assist with the Partition action, OR, we can assist you with the listing and selling the property if you and your partner can agree. It would probably be best if you both could agree and it would be my recommendation to try that first. If all else fails, we'd be happy to work on the partition action for you too. Feel free to reach out to my office for assistance.
