...partition by sale? 3 people (A, B, C) purchased a home as joint tenants. Person C gifted their portion away to person D. Since C gifted their share, it seems that joint tenancy was severed. Does this mean that now A, B, and D have become tenants in common?
Person B now wants to sue A, C, and D. Person B claims they have a greater share in the home (they contributed more, etc) and is seeking a partition by sale. How will they determine the proportion that each person owns (A, B, and D)? Person A contributed the most. Person C never paid anything, but was on title. Person B contributed some, but not nearly as much as Person A. Person D was gifted the home and did not make direct payments toward the house (but, gave cash gifts to Persons A and C regularly).
