We own a house under 4 names, 3 brothers, 1 sister
in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. My mom put it into the
4 of us as equal owners of the house, since she does
not want to write a will. However, my 2nd brother,
who owns one quarter of the house, has $78,000
in credit card debt! If my brother is not able to pay
the $78,000, and the creditors put a lien on our house,
can they later force us to sell our house?
a) My brother only owns 1/4 of the house, so can
the creditors force the sale of the house without
notrifying the other 3 owners?
b) If a lien goes on the house, are we OK, until we try
to sell the house?
c) or can theyforce us to sell the house after 4 months
after the lien is put on the house?
Has anyone gone thru something similar?
What has your experince being?
I am looking for Canadian experince,
in the city of Toronto, Ontario, Canda (ie Canadian law)
d) can we stay safely in the house & not sell it
even if there is a lien? (thjzip@yahoo.ca)
