What Are the Pros and Cons of a Partition Action?

As there is with all decisions, there are upsides and downsides to a partition action. Partition actions can be a complicated process and there are many benefits and challenges to this legal process. Thus, it is very important to understand both the pros and cons of partition in order to help you determine if partition is the correct legal course of action to take in your real estate dispute.

PROS – Benefits of a partition action

  • Best option when co-owners of a property cannot agree to terms
  • Ensures an end to any real estate dispute where a party refuse to cooperate
  • Possibility of recovering reimbursement for costs on payment of mortgage, taxes, insurance, repairs and renovations, as well as down payments on the co-owned property
  • Potential recovery of attorney’s fees and costs
  • Sale of the property for a higher value than if the property is sold by co-owners who disagree over the price, terms, or basic marketing tasks.

CONS – Challenges of a partition action

  • Some partition cases may be time consuming
  • Being forced to interact through the courts with your co-owner, but at least this will eventually end
  • Risk of the property being sold to a third party, though this will result in the proceeds being split by the court among all the owners

Every day that your unhealthy co-ownership relationship continues, you’re choosing your co-owner as a real estate partner.
