can we sell a share of joint property

can we sell a share of joint property for example - one has a land with his friend in equall ratio so can he sell

Quick Summary

Yes, you can sell your undivided share of a jointly owned property, such as land held with a friend. However, you cannot hand over specific possession of the land to the buyer until it has been formally partitioned. Your buyer could initiate a partition suit or agree to the sale of a portion. It is generally advisable to partition the land first before selling your specific share.

You can sell your undivided share of land but can not handover specific possession of land to buyer until it is partitioned.

The buyer can file suit for partition or let he give consent to sell half portion.

Dear querist,

The answer to your question is that you can directly sell your share of the property. But it would be better if you choose to partition the land. You need to partition the land among the equal owners, and then you may proceed to sell your share of the land.

Hope you find this useful.

Thankyou,

Shraddha.
