   You each have an undivided 1/2 interest in the home, and neither can exclude the other.

   You should start gathering up your proofs. Your cancelled checks, the property tax bills, mortgage records. It’s really difficult with family members.

   You can sue him for his share of expenses. You can request a partition of property or a sale, with your paid expenses coming off the top, before splitting proceeds between you. See a local real estate attorney.

   being listed on the deed does not mean that you cannot have this property probated, and force a sale. One way to do this also is next time to not pay taxes and let them sell it at tax sale, and bid “0″ for the interest, pay taxes next year and it is clear to you. That is how it is done in Illinois… it works wonders. Be sure to put a lein against the property for taxes and expenses paid. Also put a lien in the amount of his rent.

   Other states might be different, but our delinquent sales are by percentage charged for late taxes, and a “0″ is not a good investment for the regular bidders.

   Lets hear from other states about how it is done there??
