Selling A Small Share

  Ms. Lank: If a person owns a fifth of a fifth of a house can that share be sold?
 
 

Every property owner has what is known as a bundle of rights, and one of those is the right to sell. You can certainly transfer your title (ownership) to someone else. All you have to do is find someone who wants to buy four percent of the property and is willing to be co-owner with what are possibly a lot of other people. I suppose your best prospect would be one of your co-owners, who might want to have a larger share.
