<prompt> Human: Im wondering what my options are for getting one person myself out of a joint mortgage. Without delving into the boring relationship details, its teetering on the edge of rapid deterioration and I need to get some contingency plans in place in case that happens.My partner and I bought a place in a decent neighborhood a few years ago. The title is in both our names but the loan is entirely mine. Reason for this was that my credit is great and theirs isnt, so we got a better rate in just my name. We have a kid, so ideally the two of them would stay here where my partner has nearby family and access to good schools. However, theres no way they could afford it on their own. There is a wealthy member of their family whom has a history of being happy to pick up properties so that others in the family have a discounted place to live, so Ive considered asking them if theyd buy out my half of the mortgage and keep my partner on jointly. Would the process get treated like a typical sellerbuyer situation or is there anything special for cases like this?Assistant: Its very simple. You have the mortgage. You need to sell the house.And no there is nothing special to your situation although most people would like to think that.Human: Its very simple. You have the mortgage. You need to sell the house.Property isnt my forte but my understanding is that I do not have the mortgage, we do. So both parties have to consent to a sale. I have to also consider the possibility that my partner will refuse.Is this incorrect?  <response>: Both parties have decision making authority you will need to look at your docs to see the type...tenant in common, etc. You have the entire financial burden. This is not an ideal leverage point for you.Sell it or buy the other party out...those are likely your options unless you like spending time in the court system.
