Partition actions provide a court-driven path to divide real estate interests when co-owners cannot reach an agreement about use, value, or sale.

A partition action is a civil proceeding designed to resolve disputes among co-owners by partitioning the property or ordering a sale, so each party can move forward.
Key steps include filing a petition, notifying all parties, appointing a master or commissioner, appraising the property, and deciding on partition in kind or sale with equitable distribution.
