Your Attorney for Partition Actions in Florida
Understanding Partition Actions
When co-owners of a property can’t agree on how to manage or divide it, a partition action can provide a legal solution. In Florida, partition actions allow co-owners to either physically divide the property or sell it and distribute the proceeds fairly. Whether you’re dealing with inherited property, jointly purchased real estate, or any situation where multiple parties have ownership, partition actions offer a path to resolution.

What to Expect in a Partition Action
- Initial Consultation: We’ll start with a thorough discussion of your situation, including your goals and the specifics of the property in question.
- Filing the Action: If a mutual agreement can’t be reached with other co-owners, we’ll file a partition lawsuit on your behalf in the appropriate Florida court.
- Court Proceedings: The court will evaluate whether the property can be physically divided or if it must be sold. We’ll advocate for your preferred outcome, whether it’s a fair division or a sale.
- Resolution: Once the court has made its decision, we’ll ensure the partition is executed smoothly, whether that involves a property sale or a physical division.
Common Outcomes of Partition Actions
Partition actions typically result in one of the following outcomes:
- Physical Division: If the property can be fairly divided without affecting its value, the court may order a physical partition. This is more common with large parcels of land.
- Property Sale: If the property cannot be divided without diminishing its value, the court will likely order a sale. The proceeds from the sale are then distributed among the co-owners according to their ownership interests.
- Buyout Agreement: In some cases, one co-owner may buy out the others’ interests, allowing them to retain full ownership of the property. This can be negotiated before or during the partition action process.
