Real Estate

California Real Estate
My sister and I jointly own (50/50) an apartment building through inheritance. She wants to sell it but I do not. Alternatively she wants me to buy out her half but I have inadequate funds for that. Can she force me to sell or buy her half - who is responsible for the price of a loan, should I be forced to buy her out? Since the real estate market is now weak, we would both lose money if we sold now, no matter what.

If two or more owners cannot agree on what to do with a piece of property they may petition the court and the court will order a sale or refinancing etc. so that the one or more may get out of the property obligation and/or the other(s) may keep it etc.--it is often done-- (This is true in some cases even for equitable owners that have paid various amounts etc., but for various reasons, may not be on title.)
