What is a Real Estate Partition?
A real estate partition is a legal process to divide a jointly owned property when the co-owners cannot agree on its management or use. Partition actions can arise in various situations, such as when multiple heirs inherit a property, when business partners wish to dissolve a partnership, or when co-owners of a property have a disagreement over whether to sell or hold on to the property or how to fairly divide the proceeds of a sale. The primary goal of a partition is to resolve disputes and ensure that each co-owner receives its fair share of the property’s value.
Types of Real Estate Partitions
There are two main types of real estate partitions:
- Partition in kind: This type of partition involves the physical division of the property into separate parcels, with each co-owner receiving a portion of the land. This method is often preferred when the property can be divided equitably without sacrificing its value.
- Partition by sale: In cases where a physical division of the property is impractical or would significantly reduce its value, the property may be sold, and the proceeds distributed among the co-owners according to their interests. A court-appointed referee typically oversees the sale process to ensure fairness and transparency.

In Colorado, real estate partition law refers to the legal process by which co-owners of a property can divide their interest in the property.

Baker Law Group specializes in assisting clients with partition actions. We provide expert legal advice on the best course of action, whether it’s negotiating an agreement between co-owners or representing clients in court. Our team is experienced in handling both voluntary partitions (agreed upon by all parties) and judicial partitions (ordered by the court), ensuring that your rights and interests are effectively represented and protected throughout the process.
In Colorado, there are typically two types of partitions: partition in kind and partition by sale. A partition in kind involves physically dividing the property, if such division is feasible and fair.
