A forced sale is a transaction in which a property or asset is sold against the will of the owner, typically due to financial or legal obligations. This type of sale is often initiated by a court order, creditor’s demand, or government intervention. Unlike a voluntary sale, a forced sale does not allow the owner to negotiate the terms or price of the sale, and the proceeds are used to satisfy the outstanding debt or legal obligation. This can result in a lower selling price and a loss for the owner. Forced sales are often seen as a last resort and can be emotionally and financially distressing for the owner.
