Hello Kaitlyn, nice to meet you. How can I assist you with your legal concerns today?
I have a question about real estate
Hello Kaitlyn, I'm here to help. Could you please specify what your question about real estate is? Also, your location would be helpful as laws may vary by region.
I bought a house with someone I’m not married to, the mortgage is only in their name but both of our names are on the house deed . He doesn’t want to move and I don’t want to move , is there a law or something where if neither of us will move then the house gets sold ?
Hello Kaitlyn, to provide the most accurate information, I need to know your location as real estate laws can differ greatly. Could you please tell me where you are located?
Indiana
In Indiana, if co-owners can't agree on what to do with a property, one can file a lawsuit for partition. A court would typically:
- Divide the property, if practical.
- Order a sale of the property, if division isn't practical.
- Distribute the proceeds from the sale.
Please consult a local attorney for detailed advice.
If he stays at the house but I’m on the deed does he have to buy me out to have the house only in his name?
In Indiana, if he wishes to own the house solely, he typically needs to buy out your share. However, the specific terms of the buyout would depend on your agreement or court order. It's advisable to consult with a local real estate attorney.
