Partition Actions
Partition actions are legal processes used to resolve disputes among co-owners of a property who cannot agree on how to use or divide it. In these cases, a court can intervene to either physically divide the property (if feasible) or sell it and distribute the proceeds among the owners. This process helps ensure fair treatment of all parties and clarifies ownership rights, enabling co-owners to move forward when collaboration is not possible. Partition actions are commonly employed in cases of inherited properties, joint investments, or shared real estate.

Partition actions are legal proceedings used to divide ownership of property among co-owners. When multiple people own a piece of real estate or another type of property, one owner can request a partition to separate their share from the others. This process can result in the property being physically divided, sold, or reallocated among the owners. Partition actions help resolve disputes about shared property, ensuring that each owner can access or liquidate their portion fairly, thereby preventing long-term conflicts over ownership and use.
