Resolving Disputes Over Jointly Owned Property: Partition Lawsuits

When you co-own real property, disagreements about selling the property can create significant challenges. If other owners oppose your desire to sell, you have the legal right to file a partition lawsuit in Superior Court. This action allows you to request a court order to sell the entire property and fairly distribute the proceeds among the owners.

How We Can Help

At the Law Office of Jacob Iloulian, we assist clients in navigating partition lawsuits to:

  • Secure a court order authorizing the sale of jointly owned property.
  • Ensure the equitable distribution of sales proceeds.
  • Assert your legal right to sell, which is typically available as a matter of law.

Contingency Fee Representation

We understand that litigation can be costly, which is why our office takes a limited number of partition cases on a contingency fee basis. This means:

  • No upfront costs: We advance all litigation expenses on your behalf.
  • No recovery, no fee: If there is no recovery, you owe us nothing.
  • Net recovery percentage: Our fees are calculated as a percentage of the proceeds you receive.
