Hi, I am currently involved in a property dispute with another co-owner. I have attempted to resolve the matter through settlement, but unfortunately, we were unable to reach an agreement. I would now like to proceed with legal action. Could you recommend a lawyer in KL who is well-versed in property disputes?

No lawyer can help you ... serious answer which will cost U 1k from a lawyer for legal advise and SST 🤑

For example, if co-owner doesn't want to sell, no law can compel him to sell. Tis is the right of every owner, except for land acquisition by the govt for public use and the in kambing URA.

That is the reason why some properties remained abandoned by joint owners purchased because they can't come to a solution. Inherited properties with joint names also face such problems.

But sometimes, money can makes him change his mind.

So what about is the unresolved disputes ?

Sometimes, banks can 'help' if your have loan. But tis approach will have repercussion. Do it only U want 'a knife to cut two' 😭

TS property the kind that recommended by lelong guru. Good value but both side getting emotionl dont want to sell dont want to pay instllment. Wait lelong..

Can elaborate what are the dispute?

i can recommend the lawyer who did my property sale a while back. he is quick, professional, and friendly. good price too. kepong area. if interested, pls dm.

If co-owners having disputes, U think both would engage the same lawyer ?

that one need counselling. lol.

ts wants to proceed with legal action... thats why i say can recommend lo..

Dispute between co-owners is only about money.

If one don't want to sell, what is there to sue ?

Unless TS can proved to the court for eg that the co-owner benefited more from the joint ownership, then the judge may order a forced sale and distribute the proceeds.

After deducting outstanding loan, legal and sales expenses, there may not be anything left to distribute ... but a 'legal' way to severed friendship 😅

depends who has higher percentage? or one has relinquished payment and upkeep while leaving the other person to handle everything?

yeah, in any court case, lawyer is winner, both parties are losers...

In co-ownership, it is deemed equal shares unless specifically stated in the the land title.

Benefiting is when one co-owner receives rental income without benefitting the other co-owner.

Payment and upkeep is expensive benefitting to sue in court. The plaintiff can choose to stop what he is doing and let the law takes its course. Why keep paying when there is no certainty of getting back what are paid esp if the property is later sold at a loss ?

let law takes its courses... maybe one party doesn't want his credit score gets tarnished... just speculating.. ts sure has more info to his predicament.

More likely the property will be sold at a loss and the sales proceed cannot cover the loan.

Owners have to pump in money to effect the sale, otherwise the bank won't signed off. If the other co-owner has no financial means, how to sell ? Even if he sign the SnP, the deal will later be aborted and more cost incurred.

Unless ts undertake in writing to take care of the losses, possible the co-owner will sell. As stated earlier, is all about money.

Or maybe, the co-owner is hoping for the property price to go higher ?

IANAL, if I read this right , I guess this is a property purchased by multiple parties arranged by property gurus? Everyone have equal rights to the property, you cannot take it away no matter what.

You can sue the person but it's probably not going to be fruitful if that person cannot afford to pay their share of monthly installments or take in some loss when selling at a loss. Never sue a poor person.

You can stop paying for the property and let bank repossess and auction off the property, but do consult a lawyer of the impact this will have on your life, it is quite severe. any lawyer familiar with properties will be able to assist as it is quite straightforward.

You can draft an agreement to transfer his rights to you in exchange for monetary compensation, but if he decides to not uphold his end of the bargain, you are going to lose more.

Anything you do, do it fast to stop the bleeding. Paying installments on behalf will only exacerbate your loss.

after all the reply, still unsure what is the dispute despite suggesting dont know what is happening.

Stop giving misleading information. The law can compel one of the owner to force sell the property by way of a court order under 145

LOL .. is the general stand of land ownership matters unless the plaintiff can prove otherwise. Read post 8 and 10.

145 easier to kena kuda 3d than to sue 🤣

The property is not under any loan, yet i have never received my share of rental income. My entitlement has been denied. I now intend to take legal action against him to recover my rental income or to do a force sale of the property.

now we know the story below.


how much rental are you owed? is there a way to split the rental into two accounts?

sounds like your family member is cheating on you, maybe try see of there is any advise from lawyer first, perhaps the rental agreement does not have your name? :X

1. Do U have paper evidence about the rental income ... a copy of TA?

2. How much was your annual share of the rental income ? How much is the total todate ?

3. What is the estimate sales proceed U are expected to receive ?

4. U can also play the reversed game if U are not in need of the money.

Even when TA doesn't have co-owner's name, he is deemed to to have received rental and to declared his share to lhdn in his annual tax returns.

ya, that should be the case, so if really cheated, then I think should report police first :X but I no law expert, better get lawyer advise :X

"Dispute" has been crystal clear narrated by multiple forumers. Money money money

So ts found solution already or not..

Told ts have a lawyer to recommend. Also didnt dm..maybe he found one.

Lawyers plenty outside. Has TS consulted any lawyers for feedback?
