Instantly download expert tools to help you navigate forced sales, buyouts, partitions, and other issues with co-owned real estate.
Jointly owned property can be costly, confusing, and stressful.
As a co-owner, you feel responsible for handling your property wisely. But with multiple owners involved, the path forward is unclear. Can you force a sale? Stop a sale? Recoup past investments? Divide the land? Not to mention the high attorney fees necessary for legal work. Due to the confusion and limitations of joint ownership, the property may begin to feel like more of a burden than an asset.
As an attorney, you feel responsible for solving joint ownership problems without charging your client a small fortune. Easier said than done. Due to the unique nature of co-ownership issues, most attorneys lack the necessary forms and systems to work efficiently. Generally, attorneys are too busy practicing law to develop automated forms, documents, and systems for this unique area of practice.

I am the owner of a highly reviewed property law firm. I love building tools and systems to help both individual consumers and attorneys solve legal problems more efficiently.
Who built these tools?
As the owner of a property law firm who has represented many co-owners successfully, I observed repeated patterns of frustration and confusion caused by jointly owned property. I realized that both clients and attorneys lacked the documents and systems to handle co-ownership issues in an affordable yet effective manner. So, I founded Forced Sale & Partition Systems to provide the missing tools.
As an attorney and product creator, I value integrity, efficiency, and practical solutions.
