Hello rubio75
You will probably need a good Spanish lawyer to deal with this, (but that will be expensive). If you cannot reach an agreement for one of you to buy the other out then it will need to go to court for a ‘’Dissolution of joint property ownership in Spain’’. Be aware the court procedure can take many years, 5 years or many more. The court will order that the property be independently valued and placed on the open market for sale. If it is sold you will share the net funds equally. If it is not sold it will be placed in auction. If it is still not sold, you being the property resident will be entitled to about 60% of the court valuation of the property from the joint owner, and the joint owner is only allowed to about 40%. As far as I know, that’s the end of it.
My advice for what it is worth is to let your ex-partner do all the running and pay all the legal and lawyers’ fees. No one can evict you and if it is not resolved you can live in the property until the graveyard.
