Q: Can a 50% owner kick door down and take stuff out of home where he is not legal resident of without other owners say.
There was no will no probate started. Owner tackled and physically removed guest while I was not home. Cops called and sided with owner. Items were tore down broken and went through doors with deadbolts kicked in. I was not home. They still have my other phone in their possession and police did nothing
A: Not enough facts to answer. Please try again.
A:
Your post is confusing. You mention probate not being started, but also mention a "50% owner". I'm guessing that someone died, leaving you and the other person in possession, with some sort of belief that the two of you had inherited the property.
If this is the case, I suggest that you file a probate petition and seek authority to sell the property, with each of you to get a share of the proceeds.
A: I agree with the other two attorneys. There is not enough facts to say for sure. There appears to be more to the story if the Police were called and sided with the owner. Sounds like it is time for you to hire a lawyer to step in and assist you. This appears to have went way past a DIY project.
