Legal Question in Real Estate Law in New Jersey

It depends on a couple of things, including exactly what that joint ownership is. I would need to know what the Deed says, and any written agreement between the joint owners, and I would need to talk to you and get more information to give you a definite answer. It sounds like there is some kind of a dispute going on. Why don't you give me a call, and I can give you some guidance?
