SEE BELOW FOR YOUR 3 OPTIONS.

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. Call us 866-839-1192 Fax: 239-932-6097

What's the first step?

Contact us for a free consultation

The agreement to sell the property may be the first step. Then if you and the joint owner(s) can't agree on how to divide the proceeds, we can request the court review the matter and make an equitable division for the parties. 

We have successfully helped many owners in your circumstance, and we can also make this a success for you.
