A partition action is a court proceeding to divide a property held by two or more owners. It is used when co owners cannot agree on how to divide or sell the property. The court can order a division in kind or a sale and distribution of proceeds.
The timeline varies by case complexity and court schedules. It may take several months to a few years. Working with an experienced attorney helps keep your case on track and manage expectations.
Costs include court filing fees, appraisal costs, and attorney fees. Some costs may be recoverable from other parties depending on the outcome.
Typically each owner bears their share of costs, but final allocation is determined by the court and ownership interests.
Mediation or negotiation can reduce time and cost. If a fair agreement can be reached, a partition action may not be necessary.
If a sale is ordered, the property is sold, and proceeds are distributed after payoffs and costs.
Proceeds are allocated according to ownership interests and court orders, after deducting costs and fees.
