Co-ownership Breakup and Partition

What is a Partition Action?

 

RealEstate is often the largest single investment that a person or a business may make or own.  Sometimes individuals and businesses become the co-owner of a piece of residential or commercial property along with friends, family members or fellow investors.  Many things may thereafter occur which may make a partition action necessary.  Simply put, a partition action is the legal process of dividing property equitably between or among co-owners.  This process does not apply to co-owners who are married and therefore subject to the jurisdiction of the family court for division of property.
 
The reasons why a partition action may become necessary are numerous:
 
  • One of you may want to sell the property and the other does not;
  • There may be disagreement on how or at what price to sell the property;
  • One or more of the co-owners may not have been contributing to the expenses of the property and the co-owners have not be able to resolve their differences;
  • There may be a dispute about how the property is used and who is entitled to use it.
