Legal Question in Real Estate Law in New York

Re: What are my options for jointly owned Property

Unless the Deed restricts sales by a minority (less than half) owner, you could sell to anyone. However, this could cause family disharmony if a 3rd party becomes an owner. Also, since you are selling only a 1/4 interest, you may not be able to get full value since the limited ownership interest is subject to the actions of a majority of owners.

This might be different if the property is rental rather than personal usage.

There is also the possibility of a suit for partition which could require a full sale, if you can establish proper grounds (e.g., conflicts of operations and improper treatment or reporting to the minority owner(s) by the majority owners.

I really need more information as to the reasons you are considering selling and how the other owners are treating you, to properly advise you.
