    How do you force someone to do something?

    For example if one wants to sell and the other doesn't. The only way to proceed is to wait it out or apply to the supreme court to appoint a trustee - which would cost $20k upwards.

    Legal agreements are only as good as how much your willing to spend on lawyers.

    You have answered your question perfectly on how to ‘force’ something.
    People are ‘encouraged’ to do things through consequence. The consequence being the loss of a substantial amount of money and time in the courts. This is why most disputes are settled outside.
