Asked about 1 year ago - Augusta, NJ
FlagI am a 50% owner of a condo and want to get out of this deal.
I am unsure what you mean by "deal." If you already own the property, and the other owner does not want to sell and does not want to buy you out, you need to go to Court and see a "partition" of the property. That is when a Judge orders the property be sold and the proceeds split equally. If you are under contract to purchase the property, you need to speak with your attorney to see if you can get out of the contract.
