Q: I have a very low income & would like to know what is cost to file a partition for neglect & non entry to property.
Mother & aunt are 50/50 owners & aunt keeps denying us & potential buyers to inspect. Have been trying to sell property for past 3 years. We have not been able to see inside for 10 years now. We would like her to comply or buy out my mother's half of value of premises.

A:
You may file a "Partition Action," to force a judicial sale. That often results in negotiations.

Barry E. Janay agrees with this answer
A: A partition action is your only judicial remedy. While a sale is the sole remedy you can seek, once the matter is in court, other options are on the table for discussion. The cost will be determined by the opposition. Getting it going is a few thousand dollars.
