Can a Partition Case be resolved without going to court?
You and the other co-owner or owners of the parcel would like to reach an agreement before filing a lawsuit. Partition actions can be used only as a last option when parties cannot communicate and reach an agreement. You should be aware that filing a part action can cost a lot of money. You’ll have to pay court fees and possible real estate agent fees if a court orders a sale. It’s better to list the property as for sale, or to come to an agreement out of court with the other parties to avoid the fees and process. An attorney who specializes in real estate can be very helpful during this phase, as they will help you to communicate your ideas and wishes to the other parties objectively to avoid a lawsuit.How can an attorney help me file a partition action?
