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.

User-friendly tools built by an attorney.

Our products were built for attorneys and non-attorneys. So whether you’re a co-owner handling things yourself, or an attorney representing a co-owner, you can leverage our products and automated documents to achieve better results in any joint ownership scenario.

Common Issues

Forcing a Sale

When one or more of the co-owners does not agree to a sale, can you force a sale? How can you do this without spending a small fortune on attorney fees?

Defending a Forced Sale

Can you stop someone from forcing a sale of the property? If forced sale occurs, how can you protect your investment and equity?

Negotiating a Buyout

Can you enter a buyout agreement voluntarily to avoid a costly lawsuit? If so, what’s the best way to motivate your co-owner(s) and lock down the buyout agreement?

Achieving a Voluntary Sale

How do you motivate co-owners to agree to a voluntary sale, and how do you lock down that agreement?

Dividing the Money

If the jointly owned property is sold, how is the money divided? Can you get credit for unequal investments? What is the process to achieve this?

Dividing the Land

Is there a way to divide the land instead of selling the property? Can you do this outside of court, or can you force it through a court if necessary? Who gets what?

Joint Ownership Letter

Before resorting to a lawsuit, try to get all the co-owners on the same page using our Joint Ownership Letter. This is a highly persuasive letter designed to compel other co-owners toward either a buyout, land division, or voluntary sale of the property, so as to avoid costly and time consuming litigation. It often works! This is a highly recommended first step, even if you’ve already tried negotiation and failed. This letter warns all owners that you may file a partition action as a last resort, with appropriate legal citations.

Ryan Jones, attorney and founder of Forced Sale & Partition Systems

Ryan Jones, Attorney

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.

“I appreciate Ryan Jones a lot. Great guy. Treats people well and fairly. I admire that.”

Brad Novacek

“Ryan was responsive, knowledgeable, and most all reasonable with his fees.”

Ken Krapf

“Ryan Jones is a man of his word. Straightforward, honest, articulates your options and choices and offers practical solutions with reality in mind.”

Roy Mills

Not sure where to start?

Most co-owners start with the Joint Ownership Letter. It proposes a buyout or voluntary sale and explains your right to partition, before anyone goes to court.
