If 2 people, let's say brother and sister Bill and Jane own a house with 50-50 ownership, and Bill wants friend Ted to visit but Jane does not want Ted to visit, who prevails? Furthermore, if Ted continues to visit against Jane's wishes can she have Ted cited for trespassing?

If Bill wants Ted to visit, Bill can have Ted visit. Ted is not a trespasser if one of the co-owners of the house has invited him to visit.

If this is a continuing problem, Jane might want to rethink co-owning this house with her brother.

Where real property is jointly owned, each has the right to use the property as he/she sees fit and has no legal ability to restrain the other joint owner from doing so. In other words, Jane is SOL in the scenario you described.

 

[Orion3M42]

Let's augment the previous scenario. Ted is also their brother. Bill is elderly and in need of caregiving and Jane is the person of record through the Medicare and Medicaid programs as Bill's caregiver. When Ted visits he is insulting and verbally abusive to Jane inhibiting her ability to give proper care to Bill. Can she then insist on denying the visits?

 

[Zigner]

She can insist all she wants, but if Bill allows him to be there, he can be there.

Don't you just love it when people tell one story and change the whole story after they get the answer they don't want to hear.

Can't wait to see the next episode.

Jane cannot prevent the co-owner of the house from having visitors. Perhaps Jane should turn over Bill’s caregiving to someone else.

OK, since adjusterjack wants another episode here it is.
Bill has decided that Ted cannot visit unless he apologizes and stops being abusive to Jane.

Then Ted is not welcome in the house if neither owner wants him there.

Stay with us for the continuing story of Bill and Ted's (and Jane's) Excellent Adventure.

None of this changes my prior response in post #4 in the thread.

Bill has decided that Ted cannot visit unless he apologizes and stops being abusive to Jane.

I would hope it obvious that, if neither of the two joint owners wants Ted around, then he's not legally permitted.

care giving does not mean legal guardianship where a legal guardian can have a say in what the person who they have guardianship do and what they cannot do including how they spend money where they live , etc.

I think these three siblings might benefit from family therapy.

Don't worry. Next we'll be told that Ted's a co-owner as well, as their parents left it to them equally.

Quicksand is more stable than the "facts" in these questions.
