What Is a Partition Action?
A partition action is a legal process used to resolve disputes between co-owners of real property. Whether you’ve inherited property through an estate, purchased real estate with others, or acquired ownership through other means, disagreements can arise about how the property should be managed, used, or sold. When co-owners cannot agree, a partition action may be necessary to achieve a fair resolution.
Types of Partition Actions
There are three main types of partition actions:
- Partition by Sale: The property is sold, and the proceeds are divided among the co-owners based on their ownership interests.
- Partition in Kind: The property is physically divided, and each co-owner receives a portion. This method is more common for large parcels of land.
- Partition by Appraisal: One co-owner buys out the other(s) at an appraised value.
Common Scenarios Requiring a Partition Action
- Inherited Property: Siblings or other heirs who inherit property may disagree on whether to keep, sell, or rent it.
- Business Disputes: Business partners who co-own real estate may have differing opinions about the property’s future.
- Divorces or Breakups: Unmarried couples or separating spouses may need to resolve ownership disputes.
