Real Estate Partition Action
Real estate partition actions can be complex and emotionally charged, particularly when multiple parties own property and cannot agree on its use or disposition. We specialize in handling real estate partition actions and related estate matters at Morgan Legal Group, located in New York City. Our experienced attorneys are dedicated to protecting your rights and ensuring a fair resolution.
Understanding Real Estate Partition Actions
A partition action is a legal procedure used to divide or sell property owned by multiple parties. When co-owners of real estate cannot agree on the property’s management, use, or sale, a partition action can provide a resolution. These disputes often arise among family members, business partners, or investors.
Types of Partition Actions
There are two main types of partition actions:
- Partition in Kind: This involves physically dividing the property among the co-owners, allowing each party to take ownership of a specific portion.
- Partition by Sale: When physical division is impractical, the court may order the property to be sold and the proceeds divided among the co-owners according to their ownership interests.
Our attorneys at Morgan Legal Group are skilled in handling both types of partition actions, ensuring that our client’s interests are protected throughout the process.
Reasons for Partition Actions
Partition actions may be necessary for various reasons, including:
- Disagreements among co-owners about the property’s use or management
- One or more co-owners want to sell their interest, while others do not
- Disputes over financial contributions or responsibilities for the property’s maintenance
- Desire to liquidate the property and distribute the proceeds
Whatever the reason, our attorneys are here to provide the legal guidance and representation needed to resolve these disputes effectively.
