If you are part owner of a commercial or residential property, Partition Attorney Stoddard can help you resolve property disputes while protecting your interests.

Partition actions are a legal process where joint owners divide an asset that is co-owned such as real estate or personal property. When more than one party holds ownership, conflicting ideas and goals for the property may cause difficulties. Partition actions allow the courts to direct how a property’s value will be divided and assigned, whether by means of sale or other legal solutions. Partitions were originally used only in situations where multiple parties inherited a property. The Uniform Partition Heirs Property Act was broadened in 2022 through the Partition of Real Property Act so that partitions are now applicable in a wider range of situations to allow equitable means of dividing assets.
