Partition of Property & Family Property Disputes
Jointly owned property often becomes a source of family conflict. Whether inherited, co-owned, or part of ancestral assets, unclear ownership creates tension, delays property sales, and threatens your legal rights.
At GNS Law Associates, our experienced Partition of Property Lawyers in Karachi help individuals assert their rightful share through the courts. We ensure fair division of property, protect your ownership rights, and resolve disputes efficiently.

What is Partition of Property?
Partition of Property is a legal process through which joint property is divided among rightful owners, ensuring each co-owner receives their share. Partition can involve:
✔️ Family Inheritance Property
✔️ Co-owned Residential or Commercial Properties
✔️ Agricultural Lands
✔️ Ancestral or Undivided Property
If co-owners disagree on division, sale, or possession, filing a Partition Suit is the legal solution to protect your share.
When to File a Partition Suit
You should consult a lawyer and consider filing for partition if:
✔️ You inherited joint property but are denied your rightful share
✔️ Co-owners refuse to divide or sell the property
✔️ Possession of the property is disputed
✔️ You face illegal occupation or exclusion by family members
✔️ You want to sell your share but others obstruct the process
We handle partition cases to ensure fair division and secure your property rights.
