Questions to resolve before a partition suit

Review should identify every co-owner, the asserted share of each person, the source of title and whether any earlier transfer, family arrangement, will or succession issue changes that position. The property schedule must be exact enough to identify the premises and all relevant portions.

Prepare a family or ownership chart, chronological title chain and a note of present possession, occupation and income. If urgent protection is considered, preserve documents showing the threatened transfer, construction, dispossession or other change rather than relying only on oral assertions.
