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.

I was introduced Attorney Benjamin Haynes via a mutual acquaintance because I was in the middle of a trademarking process with another firm and it wasn't going well. Upon review of my application, Mr. Haynes immediately spotted some problem areas. Within a matter of weeks, he had everything resolved and approved by the USPTO. I can highly recommend this firm.L.H.

After calling several, several surplus funds attorneys and companies, I went with Ben Haynes because of his knowledge about marriage laws and surplus funds !!!!! , He saved me alot of money and aggravation about the whole situation, he was very knowledgeable and assured me he was the right person for my case, you know he was right !!!! One attorney said he wanted to front me funds but after further review, Ben and his team of lawyers are the best of them all. Thank you to the best Florida foreclosure surplus lawyer!J.M.

Haynes and De Paz is an extremely talented and results driven law firm! Attorney Benjamin Haynes literally had less than 24 hours to represent us in a foreclosure lawsuit. With their legal representation, we were able to secure a loan modification featuring a much lower interest rate and effectively suspend a previously scheduled foreclosure sale on our home. In less than three weeks from receiving final judgment against us by the courts, we now have a new beginning and renewed relationship with our lender in the home that we still love!B.G. &T.G.

-
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.
