When two or more co-owners of a property wish to divide the property between themselves, a partition action may be useful. This legal process works for personal property and for real estate. Such action can become necessary when opposing co-owners have conflicting goals and ideas for the property. Partition allows the court to apportion the value of the property to each co-owner in proportion to their respective ownership. It may involve sale of the property or other legal means. This process was originally used only for inherited property, but the Uniform Heirs Property Act of 2022 expanded its application to more situations that call for division of assets.
