You can sell the house. If the other two owners will not cooperate, then you can go to Court to get an Order to sell the house.

You need a lawyer to sit down with you and give you some advice.

I can explain things in detail in person after we talk. I will explain what legal issues I see, and what I can do to assist you.

This will be a free consultation. After we talk, you can decide what you would like to do.

Give me a call, make an appointment to come see me, and let's get moving on this for you. No charge for the telephone call and no charge for the first office visit.

I agree with Rob, but suggest you talk to your co-owners first, as maybe they will buy you out or suggest something other than an outright sale. Last resort, find a buyer and start a suit for partition, which allows the house to be purchased or your co-owners can purchase your interest.

Best is to use an attorney in all instances.
