Below is an interesting article in our June Newsletter regarding a form of title called Tenancy in Common. You can view the complete June Newsletter at https://www.roosterag.com/ag-newsletters/

Tenancy in Common
The other day I had a call from a potential listing client who inherited a farm in partnership with her sister, the form of ownership that they hold title in is called Tenancy in Common. This form of title gives each owner a separate and distinct interest in the property with the right to possess and enjoy all of the property, not just half of it. While one sister wanted to sell the farm and have the cash, the other sister said she was not interested in selling and did not want to buy out her sister or split the farm, this created a problem for them. As no one sister can claim a particular specific portion of the farm as their own, the sister that wants to sell could sell her percentage portion of the property to someone completely outside of the family, but at what price or discount would need to be applied to entice someone to buy that percentage share? Then if a sale was made, her sister could potentially own the farm with someone of whom she doesn’t even know! Talk about a hornets’ nest! After this conversation I realized how many people are probably in this same situation. Make certain you know how you hold title on your property that you may have inherited or purchased in any form of partnership and make sure you understand Tenancy in Common.
