We provide comprehensive legal assistance in matters concerning the partition of co-ownership of real estate and other jointly owned assets. We represent clients both at the stage of amicable negotiations and in court proceedings.

Our objective is to achieve a final and equitable arrangement of property relations between co-owners, taking into account their respective interests and the actual factual circumstances.

Partition Proceedings

We have extensive experience in handling partition of co-ownership cases in various forms, in particular through:

• physical division of the property,
• allocation of the property to one co-owner with an obligation to compensate the others,
• sale of the property and distribution of the proceeds.

In each case, we conduct a thorough analysis of the legal and factual status of the property in order to identify the most advantageous solution for the client.

Settlement of Expenditures on Joint Property

A particular area of our expertise involves partition proceedings combined with the settlement of expenditures incurred on jointly owned property.

We assist clients in pursuing claims related to, inter alia:

• renovation and improvement works,
• repayment of loans and other liabilities related to the property,
• maintenance costs, taxes and other charges,
• increases in the value of the property financed by one of the co-owners.

We provide full support in gathering evidence, valuation of expenditures, and effective representation before the courts.

Partial Partition of Co-ownership

We advise on matters concerning partial partition of co-ownership, in particular where:

• the partition concerns only a part of the property,
• co-owners seek to regulate the use of specific parts of the property (quoad usum arrangements),
• a staged regularisation of the legal status of the property is required.

We assist in selecting the optimal legal structure and in conducting the entire process.

Estate Division and Partition of Co-ownership

We handle cases combining estate division with partition of co-ownership, which constitute some of the most complex property proceedings.

In particular, we provide assistance with:

• determining the composition and value of the estate,
• settlements between heirs (including expenditures and financial adjustments),
• division of real estate forming part of the estate,
• representation in disputes between heirs.

Our aim is to achieve a comprehensive resolution of the client’s legal situation within a single set of proceedings wherever possible.

Our Approach

Partition of co-ownership cases are often complex and involve significant personal and financial considerations. We therefore combine legal precision with strong negotiation skills and a pragmatic approach.

Each matter is handled individually, with a strategy tailored to the client’s circumstances — whether through amicable resolution or litigation.

We invite you to contact us to discuss your situation and identify the most appropriate method of partition.
