Legal Question in Real Estate Law in New Jersey

Re: Percentage of property/Deedholders responsibility

I will assume that you have given all the relevant facts; please understand that there are likely some facts that you did not discuss which will affect this result.

To answer your first question, you now own whatever the 6 people who gave you their ownership had. How much each of them owned will depend on how it was stated in the Deed to each of them (or perhaps in the Will if there was no deed).

To answer your second question, I will assume that this is a single family home. You can not force the other two to deed their ownership to you. You probably can have a Court order the property to be sold, and the proceeds distributed to the owners. as to who gets how much, it should go in proportion to how much ownership each person has. that may be changed depending on a couple of factors, for example who is living there, is anyone paying rent, and other things.
