My question involves real estate located in the State of: Illinois
I own property in the above State with another person. We inherited the property. The other person has not had anything to do with the property since and prior to the inheritance. The inheritance occured over 8 years ago. Since the inheritance, I, soley have lived in the property, paid all of the taxes and done and provided for all of the maintenance, with no reimbursement from the other person. This other person now wants to partition the property and I do not. Do I have a legal right to Color of Title w/Adverse Possession? If so, how do I proceed with the process? Are there any legal pleading forms that I can access and do/file myself (pro se)? If not, how do I acquire sole ownership of the property?
Thank you for all of your help and advise in advance.
