I'm not sure what you mean by a "joint RE Transaction". A joint tenant or tenant in common may encumber their interests in real property. I recommend you contact a real estate attorney to discuss the specifics of your question. Good Luck!

Re: Real Estate Note secured by a deed of trust

Unless you gave the right to the other property owners to encumber your interest, your portion of the property cannot be sold at a non-judicial foreclosure. So, in order for your portion to be sold, the note-holder would have to sue in a court of law.
