When co-owners of a property (e.g., siblings who inherited a home, former partners or business co-owners) can’t agree on whether to sell, how to divide it or how to use it, a partition action allows a court to step in and resolve the impasse; either by physically dividing the property or ordering it sold and the proceeds divided. 

Mitchell St. Louis, P.A. represents co-owners in partition actions throughout Florida, helping clients reach a resolution when an agreement between owners isn’t possible. 

What we handle:

• Filing and litigating partition actions for co-owned property
• Negotiating a buyout between co-owners as an alternative to litigation
• Representing clients in court-ordered sales and division of proceeds 
• Addressing disputes over contributions, expenses and reimbursement between co-owners 
• Resolving inherited property disputes among siblings or family members 

Why it matters:

Co-owned property can remain in limbo indefinitely without a partition action, preventing any owner from selling, refinancing or fully using the property. A partition action provides a legal path forward when agreement isn’t possible.
