Quakertown, PA asked in Real Estate Law for Pennsylvania

Q: My father and I are on the deed to a house. We had an argument and now he wants me to buy him out or sell the house?

The house does not have a mortgage. What are my options? I pay the property taxes and repairs. My grandfather originally bought the house for myself with a mortgage but when he passes the mortgage was dissolved. I don't want to loe my home as I have put work into the home.

A: Contact a local attorney for a private consultation to review all the details relevant to your situation. There are many details left out of your question that are necessary to advise you on your options. How the home is deeded is a critical detail and whether or not there is litigation pending is another very relevant detail.
