If I own property with another person and I told him he could buy my half and then change my mind, can a judge force me

Hello! My name is Debra (formerly known as Legal Ease). Thank you for your question. I'm reviewing it now, and will post back again shortly.

I am sorry to hear of this difficult situation.

Was the agreement in writing?

If there was nothing in writing then there is no sale.

In almost all cases verbal agreements are binding but that is not the case when it comes to the sale of land.

So if there was no written agreement you are off the hook.

Does that clarify the law?

Yes as there was no written agreement.

That may be interpreted as an offer in writing.

I just don't think the would win in court but it is possible given this email.

I think you need to get a legal opinion from your own lawyer.

Then I think you are fine.

You are very welcome.
