A: No one can force you to take your name off of a deed. If your name is the only name on the deed, then you own the property 100%. If you added his name to the deed, then you own an undivided one-half interest in the whole property. If two or more people cannot agree regarding title to the property they own, a partition action must be filed in court. Ultimately, the court may order that the property be sold if the property cannot be evenly divided. Please feel free to reach out for a free consultation.
