Understanding Partition Actions

When multiple individuals share ownership of a property, disagreements regarding its use, maintenance, or long-term plans can quickly escalate into tension and conflict. Whether it’s disputes over who is responsible for upkeep, how to manage rental income, or differing visions for the property's future, these issues can lead to significant strain among co-owners. In such cases, a partition action serves as a legal remedy designed to resolve disputes between co-owners when they are unable to reach an agreement on their own.


These contentious situations often arise among family members who inherit property together and find themselves at odds over its management, among former partners who no longer wish to co-own real estate, or even among investors whose interests and investment strategies have shifted. Given the complexities involved, navigating these relationships can be incredibly challenging.


Neal H. Flaster, Esq., is experienced in assisting clients in evaluating whether a partition action is the appropriate course of action for their specific situation. He offers guidance on the legal process, providing clarity on how it can effectively delineate ownership rights and responsibilities, ultimately paving a path forward when cooperative efforts have unfortunately broken down.

Paths to Resolution: Division or Sale

A partition action generally takes one of two forms: dividing the property among co-owners or ordering its sale to ensure equitable financial distribution. When circumstances allow, the court may permit the property to be physically divided, thus granting each co-owner a clearly defined portion of the asset. However, in situations where the property cannot be fairly divided—such as a single-family home, a small parcel of land, or a commercial space—the court may decide to order a sale of the property. In this case, the proceeds from the sale are then divided among the owners according to their respective interests.


Neal H. Flaster, Esq., is dedicated to working closely with clients throughout this complex process to protect and advocate for their financial interests. He meticulously reviews property valuations, examines all relevant ownership documentation, and provides professional guidance to help ensure fair distribution of assets. Whether the resolution ultimately involves a physical division of the property or a court-supervised sale, his experience ensures that clients are well-informed and represented every step of the way.
