Here is an overview on how a partition action will play out in court. The party who wishes to initiate the action (the “Plaintiff”) must file a verified complaint for partition. The court will first determine the ownership interests of each of the co-owners.
What does Waiver mean? In the law of contract, the term 'waiver' is most commonly used to denote the granting of a concession by one party to a contract by not insisting on the precise performance by the other party of a duty under the contract, whether before or after any breach of the term waived.
A Partition is generally a no-fault proceeding, meaning there are generally no defenses that an owner can raise. One exception is if the owners have waived their right to Partition. A waiver may be verbal, implied, or written. A Partition action should be filed with the assistance of an experienced attorney.
