Partition Actions
A partition action is a financial decision, but when dealing with a person,
We act as your objective advocate to get the equity you deserve without the risk of personal drama when trying to handle it yourself.
Our Working Process
1. What if I don't have a lot of time?
A partition action is a faster alternative to self-help, and the lawsuit typically resolves in less than a year, if handled by our office.
2. Do you have experience with these types of cases?
Yes, our office handles over 20 cases a year with similar clients, and our lead attorney has over 25 years of real estate experience!
3. I am worried about money. How much money will you charge me?
Our office has been very successful and works with an owner seeking partition to craft a cost-effective flat fee, so there are no unexpected expenses.
I was served with petition action. What are my options?
A Partition Action is a civil lawsuit to force the sale of Florida real estate, but you have options if you are the defendant. Clients have faced this dilemma, but you can avoid losing your investment and keep the property.
Please reach us at [email protected] if you cannot find an answer to your question.
Partition puts the joint owners on an equal footing to negotiate for their equity or the property. A partition is a good option even if you have been served. Please don't lose hope or be scared. We are here for you to guide a successful settlement on your behalf.
Even if you can't reach a settlement to keep the property, that doesn't mean you have to lose it. You may be able to purchase the property from the Special Magistrate.
The Special Magistrate is a person appointed by the court to conduct the sale of the property. Once the Special Magistrate has prepared the property for sale, we can help you negotiate the purchase from the Special Magistrate.
If the property is owned jointly with other heirs, Florida law gives you the right to buy the property if you gained the title after July 2020. Find out if this works for you.
