Our firm is involved with an upcoming Butler County, Missouri auction of farm ground and a house. Under Missouri law, each co-owner of real estate or personal property generally has a right to have the property physically divided or sold with the proceeds distributed. The legal term for this division is “partition.” Although a Missouri court can order the property to be physically divided rather than sold, in most cases, the court will decide to order a sale because most property (especially real estate) cannot be equally divided.

If you own real estate or personal property with another person, and you are unable to agree upon a fair and equitable division of the property, Missouri law allows for a partition suit to be filed so that the property can either be divided or sold by court order. Disputes like this can arise form a number of situations, including:

1. The purchase of real estate or personal property along with a friend (or former friend);
2. The inheritance or gift of real estate or personal property with another person or family member following a probate proceeding;
3. The purchase of real estate or personal property with a current or former business partner.
