I️ know an attorney who lends and he doesn’t have legal fee.

If property was free and clear, then the owner of the property should get the fair market value first from proceeds of the sale.What was the purpose to do 50/50 and how do you legally wrote that house contribution?

@Bruce Lynn Looking for a real estate attorney to help me through the legal aspects of acquiring a small apartment building.

You signed a legal binding contract that can not be ignored simply due to a personal decision where by you now do not wish to live in the building.

Agreement will be affected by number of other factors as well so its better to get a legal consultation. 

I should add that I am in California, but if you follow the rules and read the contracts (and have an assist from a legal team), its not that bad.

Maybe I am overthinking this but was trying to think in terms of the principles of consolidations and was curious what everyone's experience has been and the flow of funds to legal entities. 

You also may have less legal standing in the country (for instance if your 51% partner decides to stop paying your share of the cash flow).

Out of high school my goal was to become an architect and interior designer/decorator, but when I finished my associates degree, the solar industry fell into my lap and I ended up becoming a Project Manager for a solar installation company over the next 7 years.

just take a QC  and transfer the legal description from current deed.. and have your relative deed to you. and if there is a place for consideration just put 10.00... its on the county transfer form that you need to describe its between relatives not on the deed itself.. at least I have never seen it on a QC and I have done them in many many states.
