Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in New Jersey

Rights as part owner in condo

I have been the primary caregiver for my

mother these past 11 years; she died last

month from cancer. We were living in a

condo--my brother owns 70%, and my

sister and I own 15% each. I'm still in the

condo now. There is no mortgage.

Now, my adversarial brother wants to sell

the condo.

1) As a part owner, can I get evicted?

2) As my name also appears on the deed,

can he sell without my agreement?

Thanks.

I could only guess at the answers. My guesses are likely to be correct, but you can not rely on that.

Get a lawyer involved NOW. Before your brother does something that hurts you.

Eviction: I guess that if you are part owner, he should not be able to evict you without a Court order. That is a guess.

Sell: I also guess that if you are part owner, he can not sell without your signature or a Court order. That also is an educate guess.
