Legal Question in Real Estate Law in New Jersey

Re: Co-owner of property

The owner who wants to sell can bring an action for partition by applying to the court. If successful, the other owner must buy out the owner who wants to sell or sell the property.

My firm handles matters of this type. If I can be of further help to you, call or email. If you remind me that the contact was through Lawguru, the first consultation will be free.

Re: Co-owner of property

There is an action called a "Partition Action" that would force the sale if no mutual agreement can be reached.

Keep in mind that this advice is based purely on the little bit of information that you have given to me. There certainly may be other factors that would change my opinion. Further, no one can rely on advice from an attorney who has not been retained. Since it appears that you have not retained an attorney, you may want to contact a real estate attorney (either me or someone else) to discuss your matter in more detail. Only then will you be able to rely on the advice. If you call me, mention Law Guru and your first one hour consultation will be free. Good luck! Rob Gleaner
