Maine
In 1994 I purchased land on a lake in Maine by a quick claim deed and at the same time another family member purchased the same (we each have 1/2 interest in the property). I have paid all the taxes and upkeep and also built a camp. The other owner has paid nothing for taxes, upkeep or the building of the camp. She has only been there twice in 11 years and now lives several hundred miles away and has no interest. We have fallen into financial difficulity and may have to sell the camp. We have asked her to contribute to the taxes and she has refused due to her financial situation. If we sell the camp is she entitled to half the profit of the camp or only on the land? Also what is the best way to buy her out?
Thanks,
