I had a builder come to my door the other day to say he's holding a meeting between himself and the homeowners on our street, to provide details on an offer he may make to us.
Here's the deal. When I bought my home, it came with a 1/4 share of the adjacent lot, right next to my home, to the left.
Here's a diagram:
Obviously, I'm in the worst position here, as I'm the one who would have to put up with construction and new property next to me if the lot does sell and is built on.
The question is, can the other three home owners to my right, all of which own 1/4 of the lot just like me, force me to sell my share?
The lot, on the deed, and when I bought the home, was sold as simply a "1/4" share, which did not have a specific outline of what part of that lot I specifically own. So in other words, there are no lines in the shared lot that cut it into specific quarters for each owner.
