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 personally do not plan on going through this again; however, if I know someone else who is, I would definitely recommend Benjamin Haynes for their case.”
    I came to Benjamin Haynes at a time when I had very little options regarding my foreclosure. He was very confident in what we would be able to do and it was the biggest relief to turn things over to him and let him handle things from that point on. His assistant Ashley was also very helpful in the sense that she would get back to me when she said that she would and I always knew my messages were getting to Mr. Haynes. I personally do not plan on going through this again; however, if I know someone else who is, I would definitely recommend Benjamin Haynes for their case.

    “When I left your office, I was no longer worried.”
    Ben, I want to thank you and your law firm for ease and comfort that I felt throughout my entire case. I felt at ease when I sat down with you. Everything was made simple for me to understand; I felt relief at last. The best part was that when I left your office I was no longer worried. So I could say more but the best thing I can say is thank you for the truth. You are what you say you are and that's hard to find nowadays. Everything has been taken care of, no question. So thank you so much. I will be using your firm when and if I need you.

    “I highly recommend Mr. Haynes to assist in your surplus funds case... my review is just one of the many that can vouch for his remarkable professionalism and services. You honestly won't regret it.”
    We contacted Haynes & De Paz as we quickly realized we required assistance obtaining surplus funds from a foreclosure sale. Being from Canada and having an extra messy case with numerous parties involved - the process was extra confusing and we did not know the best way to go about this. We initially thought it would be a simple procedure in that once the sale occurred and once there was confirmation that there were in fact surplus funds - we'd fill out a basic template form to obtain those funds. We couldn't have been more wrong but this is a common misconception. After an attempt to contact the court with no response, we quickly realized we needed the help from an expert. We located Mr. Benjamin Haynes at Haynes & De Paz but had concerns being that he was located in a different county in FL than the court was in... Mr. Haynes didn't even bat an eye. I filled out a form online requesting information and within minutes he called me personally. The entire procedure including the Motion took less than two weeks and I can't believe how efficient he was. He and his assistant, Ashlee are remarkable at communicating with you and updating you every step of the way. The legal fees are reasonable and well worth it. This turned a nightmare into a dream. I highly recommend Mr. Haynes to assist in your surplus funds case... my review is just one of the many that can vouch for his remarkable professionalism and services. You honestly won't regret it.

    “I would without a doubt, strongly recommend this law office and Attorney Mr. Daniel De Paz to handle your case.”
    Mr. Haynes referred me to talk to Mr. Daniel De Paz who handled my case. During my entire case my attorney was upfront, frank and very professional with all his decisions. He never hesitate to talk to me every time I called him and he always returned all my calls very promptly. He was very easy to talk to and explained my case in a very simple and easy way that I could understand. I was very surprised as to how quickly he solved my case. I hope I never need an attorney again but if someone needs any kind of legal representation, I would without a doubt, strongly recommend this law office and Attorney Mr. Daniel De Paz to handle your case.

Our FAQ

 We are here to help. Still have questions or can't find the answer you need regarding partition actions? Give us a call at 888-252-8754 today!

  • 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.
