Best Answer

That would depend upon state laws and how the car is titled. Generally if a vehicle is titled "John Smith and whomever" then the vehicle can only be sold if both agree or by order of the court. If the title reads "John Smith or whomever" the car can be sold by either person. This would not apply in some instances, some examples...pending divorce proceedings, legal action by creditors, or probate procedures, etc.

It depends upon how the property is titled. If the owners are Tenants-in-Common they may sell their share of the property without the permission of any of the others.

Can a joint tenant who no longer wants to be in a relationship sell their half to a son for a minimal amount?

Yes. A joint tenant can sell their interest in the property to their son. The transfer will break the tenancy and the new owners will own as tenants in common. However, an attorney should draft the deed and the grantor should be made aware of all the tax consequence of making the transfer.


can one person sell a home but there are two other people on the deed?

When a property is co-owned by two or more people as tenants in common or joint tenants each owner can only sell their own interest in the property. They cannot transfer the interest of the other owners. If three people own a property and one wants to sell, that one can try to find a buyer for their share and that buyer will share the property with the other two owners. However, not a lot of buyers would want to share a property with strangers. Each joint owner has the right to the use and possession of the entire property.A better solution when one joint owner wants to sell is for the other owner(s) to make them a fair offer and buy them out.


Can a car be sold by just one of a co-owned car?

It depends on how the car was titled when it was purchased. Most states give the option of titling the vehicle to the two buyers as either "and" or "or" owners. This would show on the title afterward. As an example, if two people buy a vehicle with the "and" option, both of them must sign the documents to sell the vehicle. If the "or" option is chosen, either owner can sell without the other owners okay.
