No. When more than one person owns land they each own an undivided interest. That means they each have the right to the use and possession of the whole property even though they own a half interest. A sole owner would, of course, have the right to the use and possession of the property. They would acquire their interest by deed or by inheritance. Property ownership is by definition the right to the use and possession, and the right to leave the land to your heirs. If you do not have a will the property will pass to your heirs-at-law according to law.

A person cannot own real property unless they have acquired an interest by deed or inheritance.

Can a person sue if a home owner has no insurance in ct?

You can sue a homeowner, whether or not he/she is insured. Insurance only helps dilute the obligation to any liability. With a judgment, you may be able to place a lien on the property (check with CT laws), which means they can't sell the property without satisfying the lien. Another answer: The person can sell the property without satisfying the lean. It is just that the person selling the property will not get a cent for it. You will get the lean holders share. Check again. Check with your lawyer.
