In many cases, a jointly owned property ends up being occupied without proper legal authorization.
This can happen in two main ways:
Unauthorized occupation by a co-owner, or
Unlawful possession by a third party (squatting).
One of the most common — and frustrating — situations occurs when a co-owner decides to move into the shared property without the consent of the others.
Sometimes, this occupation begins innocently:
A family member moves in “temporarily” after financial hardship.
Someone who cared for an elderly parent simply stays after the parent passes away.
A relative living abroad discovers that another heir has quietly taken possession of the home.
A separated spouse refuses to leave the shared property after the breakup.
At first, these arrangements are tolerated — often out of empathy or to avoid conflict. But over time, what was meant to be a short-term solution becomes a long-term occupation, creating resentment among the other co-owners.
Those left out often continue to pay property taxes, insurance, or maintenance costs, without receiving any benefit from the property they still legally own. The imbalance feels unfair and can poison family relationships for years.
A variation of this issue occurs when a co-owner rents out the property or part of it without informing the others or sharing the rental income.
This type of financial misappropriation deepens the conflict: one person profits while others bear the costs and risk.
These situations are particularly harmful because they combine financial injustice with emotional betrayal, often pushing the other co-owners to seek an exit from undivided ownership.
Though less frequent, some properties under undivided ownership fall victim to third-party occupation.
When no one actively manages or visits the property, unauthorized individuals may break in and establish residence — effectively squatting on the premises.
This creates a double legal problem:
Dealing with the illegal squatters, and
Navigating the already complex undivided ownership structure among co-owners.
Resolving both layers of conflict often requires significant time, legal assistance, and expense.
Unauthorized occupancy — whether by a co-owner or a third party — often becomes the breaking point for many property co-owners.
It combines financial loss, legal complexity, and emotional distress, leaving some heirs or partners feeling trapped and powerless.
The longer the situation lasts, the harder it becomes to recover. Property values may decline, relationships deteriorate, and the property remains locked in a cycle of conflict and inaction.
