FAQ
How Long Does A Typical Partition Action Take In Florida? A partition action can be quite speedy if you and the other party can agree quickly on what to do. Some cases can be resolved in three months, whereas others take up to a year. This can depend on the valuation of the property and how complex the parcel is.
To successfully bring a property partition case, the parties must demonstrate an irreconcilable difference in their asset holdings. They should also argue that the division of assets would be in the best interests of both parties.
While it is possible to file a partition lawsuit without a lawyer or “Pro Se” in Florida, it is highly recommended to seek the assistance of an experienced partition attorney. The process can become complex, and having a knowledgeable litigator on your side can help protect your interests and maximize your recovery.
Under Florida law, the partition process must comply with the Florida Statutes – Chapter 64 – titled “Partition of Property.” The first part of the partition action is the filing of the complaint. By statute, the complaint shall include the following: “A description of the lands of which partition is demanded”
Defenses to the Partition Actions in Florida The only applicable defense to a partition action would be if the owners waived their right to partition. The three ways in which the owners may waive their rights to partition are: (1) verbally, (2) in an implied manner, or (3) in writing.
The actual time it takes from when a partition case is filed to when the land is partitioned physically, by sale, or by set-off varies from case to case. In general, partition cases can take several months or even years to resolve.
In order to successfully assert this defense, the person must meet three essential requirements: They must have been aware of their right when it was waived. They must have voluntarily relinquished that right. The waiver must have been made to settle or resolve the dispute.
