Explanation
Partition is a legal action available to co-owners (tenants in common or joint tenants) when they cannot agree on what to do with the property. An Oregon court can either physically partition the property (divide it) or order a partition sale (sell the property and divide the proceeds). Partition is often the last resort when co-owners have an irreconcilable dispute.
