Re: forced sale

In the absence of a written agreement the co owner can force you to buy him out. However, he should reimburse you one half of the expenses. I suggest you seek the advice of legal counsel. If I can be of any assistence let me know. However, to properly advise you the entire circumstances of the ownership interest must be reviewed in order to give you a more accurate answer.
