A partition action is a court process to resolve ownership interests in real property when co-owners disagree on partition, use, or sale. The court may physically divide the land or order a sale and distribute proceeds accordingly.

Costs typically include court filing fees, appraisal, attorney fees, and expert costs. Your lawyer can estimate total costs based on your case.
In many cases, co-owners may continue to occupy shared property during the action, depending on orders and the judge’s decisions.
