Grannie received a packet from an attorney saying if she didn’t sell her coal interest in WV they would file a suit against her and ask the courts to partition her interest and then sell it to a co-tenant or on the courthouse steps to the highest bidder. Can they force her to accept their offer by suing her?

Where there is co-ownership of property a partition may be enforced by one owner of a fractional interest. Procedures vary by state but a judicial sale is usually a last resort if not otherwise resolved. Visit with a WV attorney.

Thank you. How do I find a trustworthy attorney in WV and Pennsylvania?
