Resolve Co-Ownership Disputes Through Partition Of Your Co-Op Share Or Condominium Unit

When multiple people own the same co-op share or condominium unit but cannot agree on how to use it, sell it, or divide it, the result is often a stalemate that benefits no one. A partition action is a legal proceeding that resolves deadlocked co-ownership by forcing the sale of the share or unit and dividing the proceeds among the owners according to their respective interests. Whether you inherited a co-op share or condominium unit with siblings or other family members, purchased property with a business partner, or find yourself trapped in an unworkable coownership arrangement, Sverd Law Firm has successfully pursued partition actions to free our clients from deadlocked residential situations.

When Co-Ownership Of A Residential Share Or Unit Becomes Unmanageable

Co-ownership disputes arise frequently in residential buildings. Siblings may inherit a co-op share or condominium unit and cannot agree on whether to sell or keep the property in the family. One co-owner may want to occupy the unit while others want to sell and receive their proceeds. Co-owners may dispute responsibility for maintenance costs, property taxes, mortgage payments, and building assessments. One co-owner may be actively paying expenses while others refuse to contribute their share. A co-owner may block a sale or refinancing for personal reasons, preventing other owners from accessing their equity. In a co-op, the building corporation may refuse to approve a sale due to the ownership dispute. Without resolution, the property remains burdened by disagreement, assessments accumulate, the unit or share becomes impossible to sell or refinance, and all co-owners’ interests suffer.

We End The Deadlock

Sverd Law Firm pursues partition actions to force resolution of co-ownership disputes in residential buildings. We file suit on your behalf, identify all co-owners, and litigate to compel the sale of the co-op share or condominium unit. The court then orders a sale and directs that proceeds be divided among the owners according to their ownership percentages. The result is that you receive your share of the equity and are freed from the deadlocked co-ownership arrangement.
