Partitions Overview
Partition actions are a request to have a court order property to be sold or physically divided among the joint owners.
Prosecution of Partitions
Joint tenants and tenants in common have a right to prosecute a partition action. The court has the final say whether or not to grant a partition, but subject to a few exceptions, a partition will almost always be granted.
Defense of Partitions
Defending a partition involves determining if the matter falls into one of the exceptions where the court will deny a sale or division and making sure that all set offs and credits are properly applied.
Partition Accountings
An accounting is necessary to ensure that all parties are given proper credits for jointly owned property before it is divided or the proceeds of a sale are split.
Lis Pendens in Partitions
A lis pendens is normally filed in most actions involving real estate to prevent a defendant from selling their interest to defeat the lawsuit.
Motion Practice in Partitions
Motions are an integral part of any partition action, and can range from a motion to dismiss, defending or seeking a summary judgment, to discovery motions.
Appeals from Partitions
Appeals from partition orders or judgments is a request to the appellate court to change the outcome of a trial or motion due an error committed by the trial court.
