A partition action usually takes between six to nine months depending on the circumstances and the complexity of each case. The most significant factor is whether the partition is being handled by an attorney who practices only in partition law.
The length of a partition action can vary depending on the complexity of the case and whether the co-owners are able to reach an agreement. In general as with any litigation, the process can take several months to a year or more.
The owner who no longer wants ownership of the property can ask the court to force a sale in lieu of partition. Rather than continuing to co-own the property, the court can force the owners to put the house up for sale.
The party seeking the partition action can ask the court to award them attorney's fees and costs from the opposing party or from the proceeds from the sale of the property. The parties also may be able to recover payments they had made that were in addition to their ownership interest.
A partition action is a lawsuit that can be filed to divide or sell a property by court order when it is owned by more than one person who have agreed to fair and equitable division of the property.

Eligibility for Partitions are: Inheritance that is usually family members who inherit real and personal property.
