Most important to limit the rights of one co-tenant in the event of a lien, or acquisition of title, by creditors of that co-tenant. I don't think the law would support a prohibition against liens, like you cannot contractually limit bankruptcy rights, but you can include a waiver of a right of partition and include mandatory obligations to sell to the other.</div> <div> <div style="font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"> <br> </div> <div id="Signature"> <div></div> <div style="font-family:Calibri,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size:12pt; color:rgb(0,0,0)"> </div> <span>Dwight A.
