With a good attorney it is not as difficult as it may appear. Another option would be a partnership and find a buyer for the other side and make it a joint venture or partnership. Either way, it will be helpful to talk to an attorney but if it is not very much money it may not be worth it in the long run.Sun, 07 Jun 2009 11:53:56 -0700http://www.trulia.com/voices/profile/Real_Estate_Pro-Folsom_CA-604022/http://www.trulia.com/voices/profile/Real_Estate_Pro-Folsom_CA-604022/I don't know your laws in your state.. but if you have a "Duplex" type building on 1 parcel in California you wouldn't not be able to do that without going through the "subdivision map act" process. You are splitting the property... Ask your real estate agent what the subdivision map laws are in your state...
