479 NAC 6-002.06F2a(2)(b)

If the former ward owns the property with other persons who are not on assistance, the worker contacts the other owners to determine if they are willing to liquidate their interest in the property. If all parties are willing to liquidate, the worker proceeds with the liquidation process. If one or more of the parties do not wish to liquidate, the worker applies 479 NAC 2-001.08A and requires the former ward or responsible relative to take legal action to force a sale of the property. The worker may obtain a written statement from the other parties and file it in the case record. After a legal determination is made regarding the availability of the former ward's interest in the property, the worker takes the appropriate action.
