Common partition action issues

Sale or division of property: A partition action may seek sale, physical division, or another court-supervised resolution depending on the property and ownership structure.

Accounting between co-owners: Disputes may involve mortgage payments, taxes, insurance, repairs, improvements, rental income, occupancy value, and reimbursement claims.

Title and ownership interests: The parties may disagree about percentages, contributions, agreements, gifts, loans, or other facts affecting ownership rights.

Settlement and buyout options: Some matters can resolve through buyout agreements, sale terms, refinancing, listing agreements, or negotiated accounting terms.

Frequently asked questions

When is a partition action appropriate?

A partition action may be appropriate when co-owners cannot agree about selling, dividing, refinancing, occupying, renting, or managing jointly owned property.

What records should co-owners preserve?

Preserve deeds, title records, loan documents, payment records, repair invoices, tax bills, insurance records, rental records, texts, emails, and any written ownership agreements.
