When & Why Partition Actions Become Necessary
A partition action is a type of lawsuit filed when co-owners of a property cannot agree on how to use, maintain, or sell the real estate they share.
Partition actions are often necessary when:
- One co-owner wants to sell the property, but others refuse.
- Co-owners disagree over improvements, repairs, or rental income.
- A person inherits a share of a home but has no interest in maintaining or using it.
- A real estate investment partnership dissolves, and property distribution becomes contested.
In some cases, a partition action is the only practical way to resolve an impasse and unlock the value of the property for all parties involved.

The entire team at Haynes Law Group are a pleasure to work. I contacted Ben about an HOA issue which he was ready to take on , but it got resolved before I had to take legal action. We ended up having Haynes Law Group write our will. Their legal knowledge,information are outstanding, but most importantly they connect with their clients on a personal level. Ben and Danny are outstanding attorney's but more important, they are outstanding people. The entire team Ben, Danny and Ashlee are the legal team you want on your side.J.A.

When it seemed hopeless, Lawyer Benjamin Haynes fought and won a $92,873.91 foreclosure surplus for our family! We approached Mr. Haynes after the foreclosure sale on our property. There was a surplus of around $93,000.00 and a second mortgage of around $170,000.00. Therefore, we thought we had no chance to collect the surplus since there was a second mortgage which takes priority over our claim, per Florida law. However, Mr. Haynes took our foreclosure surplus case and started digging very deep! Through Mr. Haynes’ extensive research, he came up with an argument and won in court! The bank didn't know what hit them! We won nearly a $93,000.00 surplus. We received the check in full the next week from the court! If you have a surplus case, you NEED to contact and hire the law firm of Haynes & de Paz. Mr. Haynes will not give up and will work to win you the surplus funds! Now, my wife and I are able to put a down payment on another property. Thank you Mr. Haynes and the law firm Haynes & de Paz!!!!!T.Y.

After dealing with the mortgage company for a year, trying to modify our home they would not budge nor help us in any way that we had to get a lawyer. After reading all the testimonials I had to go with Ben and his team, so glad we did. He was able to dismiss our case, sell our home, and get us money from the sell for us to put down on a new home. Thanks so much Ben, Ashley, Tonya and your whole team for all that you do Couldn't be more grateful.C.B.

How much does it cost to hire a partition action lawyer?
We take all partition cases on a contingency basis. This means that you owe us nothing up front! We pay all court costs out of pocket and will only get paid attorney fees if we win your partition action and your piece of real estate sells.
-
Do I have to go to court during a partition action?
Not necessarily. Many issues can be handled by your attorney, and some cases settle before reaching trial. However, if the matter is contested, court appearances may be necessary.
-
What happens to mortgages and liens on a property that is in a partition action?
Mortgages and liens are paid out of the sale proceeds before any distributions to the co-owners. These encumbrances must be resolved for a clear title to transfer to the new buyer.
-
How are proceeds from a partition sale distributed?
Proceeds are typically distributed in proportion to each party’s ownership share, after deducting costs like taxes, sale expenses, and sometimes reimbursements for repairs or mortgage payments made by one owner on behalf of the others.
-
What are the common outcomes of partition lawsuits?Most partition actions result in the court ordering the sale of the property, with the proceeds divided among the owners based on their ownership interests. In rare cases, the property may be physically divided; this outcome could be more likely for large, multi-acre properties, especially those used for commercial agricultural purposes.
-
Who can file a partition lawsuit?
Any person who holds a legal ownership interest in real property, whether full or partial, has the right to file a partition action in Florida.
