You can immediately file in the Common Pleas Court a motion to stop the proceeds from being distributed, and the partnership from being dissolved, until the court makes a determination about the legal relationship between you and the owner. You can actually request that the company be put in the hands of a receiver who will manage the property and proceeds.

If you try to do this you should have ample proof that you are actually a partner and not an employee. You would need some kind of writing to prove this. Feel free to contact me at my cell phone to discuss this. 216.952.1990
