Can one owner place a lien on a jointly-owned property in Massachusetts?

MassachusettsRight to Lien
Anonymous Contractor

I entered into an equal partnership via a new corporation created by LegalZoom. The corporation bylaws state equal shares; however, one partner has attempted to take control of the property and has closed access to both the property and company bank account. As of now I have not had any damages done to me so I don't think I can take him to court; so I would like to put a lien on the property so that he can not sell the property with out me being able to ensure the company bank account and profits are divided equally.

You can allege this and request a preliminary injunction with the court.
