Palm Beach County Partition Attorney: Force Sale of Jointly Owned Property

Palm Beach County's valuable real estate — from Boca Raton condominiums to West Palm Beach waterfront homes — often becomes the subject of co-ownership disputes. When multiple
owners cannot agree on whether to sell, how to manage, or who should pay for expenses, the relationship can quickly become untenable.

Florida law provides a solution. A partition action is a lawsuit that forces the sale of jointly owned
property, regardless of whether all owners agree. Under Florida Statutes Chapter 64, the right to partition is nearly absolute. Any co-owner can file — even one who owns a minority interest.
At Revah Law, we represent Palm Beach County property owners in partition actions. Our aggressive, litigation-focused approach protects your financial interests and helps you exit unwanted co-ownership as efficiently as possible.

Common Partition Scenarios in Palm Beach County

High-Value Inherited Properties

Palm Beach County includes some of Florida's most valuable residential real estate. When property owners pass away and leave homes to multiple heirs, the stakes are high. Any heir with an ownership interest can file a partition action. When substantial equity is involved, the accounting phase becomes particularly important.

Seasonal Residents and Vacation Properties

Palm Beach County attracts significant seasonal and vacation property investment. Friends, family members, or business partners often purchase properties together to share costs. When these arrangements break down, a partition action resolves impasses by forcing a sale and distributing proceeds according to ownership and credits.

Unmarried Couples and Domestic Partners

West Palm Beach, Boca Raton, Delray Beach, and surrounding communities have many unmarried couples who purchase property together. When relationships end, the partition process addresses these situations by determining ownership interests, crediting unequal contributions, and ordering a sale with equitable distribution.

Real Estate Investment Disputes

Palm Beach County's strong real estate market attracts investors who often partner on purchases. When business relationships sour, partition may be the only path forward. Important note: If the property is held in an LLC or corporation rather than individual names, you cannot file a partition action. Instead, you must pursue judicial dissolution of the business entity.
