Partition Action - Resolving Disputes Over Property Ownership

A partition action is a legal tool used in real estate disputes to settle arguments among co-owners. A partition action is used to resolve disputes between co-owners of property when they cannot agree on how to divide or share the property. This legal procedure can result in a just settlement, regardless of whether the conflict stems from ownership, land use, or financial concerns.

One party may request a court-ordered division if co-owners are unable to come to an amicable agreement on how to divide their property. The property may be physically divided by the court (known as partition in kind), or the property may be sold and the proceeds divided (known as division by sale).
