Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Massachusetts

Re: Petition to Partition

I agree with the other answers. After the Petition is filed it must be served upon all parties with an interest in the property; a commissioner is appointed to sell the property and divide the proceeds after costs of sale and the commissioner's fee.

You should have an attorney. The rules are complex and a good attorney will help you meet your goals from this litigation.

Feel free to call if you need help.

You file the petition in the probate court.

Re: Petition to Partition

You file a Complaint for Partition of Partition in the probate court where the property in question is located.

However, it is not something that should generally be done pro se as there are a variety of rules that will effect the ultimate division of property.

Please feel free to contact me if you have more questions.
