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.

My conversations with you and your employees especially Ashlee have been tremendous, very informative and helpful . When I first received notices from other firms about the foreclosure surplus funds I thought it was all a joke , I thought you’ve got to be kidding me since the house is not worth that much, but then when I received your letter and confirmed the sale on the internet, I selected your firm and you were very informative about my marital situation when we first talked on the phone , for that I am extremely grateful for your knowledge on my situation. You helped win me the full amount of my foreclosure surplus funds without having to pay any other parties. If you need a great Tampa foreclosure surplus lawyer, hire Ben Haynes!J.M.

I could not be more pleased with Haynes Law Group. After two years of legal maneuvering and getting nowhere trying to negotiate with my bank, I was referred to Ben Haynes by my son. What a pleasant surprise this has been. From the prompt, courteous and personal attention I receive when contacting the firm, to the information and guidance through complicated legal matters, and disclosure of the process. I don’t think I have had a better return for my money. Thank you Haynes Law Group for giving me back what I have not had in a while; peace of mind.Roberto

-
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.
