When co-owners of commercial property disagree, the property can sit unsold, unleased, and unpaid for months. Co-owners who cannot agree on how shared property should be handled often find that the available options depend on the facts of their situation, and a conversation with counsel can help clarify them.

What Co-Owned Commercial Property Means in Florida<\/h2>\n

Co-owned commercial property is real estate that two or more people or entities hold together. Co-owners are often business partners, family members, or investors who bought in jointly.<\/p>\n

Your rights depend on the deed, any written agreement among the owners, and how the property has actually been run. The deed comes first. Florida law requires a real estate interest of this kind to be created or transferred in a signed writing, witnessed as the statute requires, Fla. Stat. \u00a7 689.01<\/a>. If the owners hold the property through an LLC or partnership, the company’s documents may control much of the relationship.<\/p>\n\n

What Partition and Buyout Litigation Covers<\/h2>\n

A partition action is a lawsuit that asks a court to divide co-owned property or order it sold and the proceeds split. Related claims often arise in the same dispute.<\/p>\n
