A compelling reason for a partition action typically arises when co-owners of jointly owned property cannot agree on how to manage, use, or dispose of the property.
Any co-owner—called a co-tenant—or a creditor can force a sale of the property. A creditor can also seize at least a portion of the debtor's property or the proceeds of a sale.
There are two main types of partition: partition in kind where the property is physically divided, and partition by sale when the property cannot be physically divided. If a co-owner believes they can win a partition action, they may proceed with filing a lawsuit.
