009.08(B)(iv)(4) JOINT OWNERSHIP.

Real property that is jointly owned is excluded if sale of the property would cause the other owner, whether the other owner receives assistance or not, undue hardship. However, if undue hardship ceases to exist, the property is included in countable resources and handled according to the following regulations: (a) If the individual owns the property with other persons who are not receiving assistance, and the real property is not the principal place of residence of the other owner, the other owner shall be contacted to determine if they are willing to liquidate their interest in the property. If all parties are willing to liquidate, proceed with the liquidation process. (b) If one or more of the parties do not wish to liquidate, the individual must take legal action to force a sale of the property.
