If two people have title to one manufactured home, one person can sell his or her own interest in it to a third person. In such a situation there will be a new owner having the rights and title to the manufactured home that the seller had. Notification of the intended sale is not required to be made to the other existing owner.
One exception to the above statement is if the existing owners of the manufactured home have an agreement between each other requiring notification to the other before the sale actually happens and partial ownership is transferred to the new owner.
From a practical perspective, notice of the possible sale to the third person should be given to the other owner to prevent surprise and potential problems between the new owners.
