Broward County Partition Attorney: Resolving Co-Ownership Disputes

Co-owning property in Broward County can become complicated when relationships deteriorate. Whether you inherited a Fort Lauderdale home with siblings who can't agree, purchased property with an ex-partner in Hollywood, or have an investment dispute in Pembroke Pines —Florida law gives you the right to force a resolution.

A partition action is a lawsuit that compels the sale of jointly owned real estate when co-owners cannot agree. Under Florida law, the right to partition is nearly absolute. Any co-owner — even one with a minority ownership interest — can file a partition action to force a sale.

At Revah Law, we represent Broward County property owners in partition actions throughout the Seventeenth Judicial Circuit. We take an aggressive, results-focused approach to get you out of unwanted co-ownership and maximize your share of the proceeds.

Common Partition Scenarios in Broward County

Inherited Property Disputes

Broward County has thousands of properties that pass through probate each year. When multiple heirs inherit a home, disputes frequently arise. Any heir with an ownership interest can file a partition action. If one heir has been occupying the property and excluding others, the excluded heirs may recover ouster credits.

Unmarried Couples in Fort Lauderdale

Fort Lauderdale and surrounding cities have a significant population of unmarried couples who purchase property together. When these relationships end, the property often becomes the subject of intense dispute. Unlike married couples who can divide property through divorce proceedings, unmarried co-owners must use the partition process.

Vacation and Investment Properties

Broward County's proximity to beaches and tourism makes it attractive for vacation home and investment property purchases. Partners who purchase together may later find themselves in disagreement. A partition action resolves these deadlocks by forcing a sale and equitable distribution of proceeds.
