What is a Partition Action?
A partition action is a legal proceeding that allows a beneficiary of a property to pursue a court order to sell an inherited property or divide it into separate parcels for each owner.
A legal lawsuit filed by a co-owner of property seeking to divide the property or sell it to resolve disputes over ownership. This action typically arises when co-owners cannot agree on the management or use of the property, such as in cases of inherited property among siblings. Partition actions can result in partition by sale or in kind, depending on the circumstances and the court’s findings regarding the property. Proper legal representation is essential in these disputes to protect the interests of the parties involved.
