3. So far as is known to Plaintiff, [Indicate and specify the proportionate


amount of interest, (e.g., an undivided one-third interest) of each of the
parties in the subject property. Attach supporting documents as Annex to be
made part of the complaint]

4. [State if the property is free or encumbered.]

The Real Property is not subject to any liens or encumbrances whatsoever

otherwise known to Plaintiff and which Plaintiff reasonably believes will be
materially affected by this action are as follows: [set out liens or

5. [State if Plaintiff desires to partition the property by division of title or by
sale or otherwise and state the reasons therefore.]

- If by mutual agreement of the parties, attach copy of agreement


- If partition by sale, possible reasons could be that some parties are
already living abroad and cannot participate in the administration of
property, or property is such that it cannot be physically divided, etc.
- If partition by division of title, possible reasons could be that each one
party wants to build a house on a portion of the property and the
partition would delineate his or her respective portion

WHEREFORE, it is respectfully prayed that this Honorable Court issue an order

1. Directing the partition (by sale or otherwise) of the Real Property

2. If by sale, directing the parties or their chosen representative to divide the


proceeds after an accounting of costs, expenses, and income incurred by or

sale proceeds.

4. Directing the Defendants and their respective successors in interest to


reimburse pro rata Plaintiff for expenses reasonably incurred by Plaintiff in
filing this action, including attorney’s fees, and other costs necessary for the
partition, as determined by the Court, and for their respective pro rata shares

sale proceeds.

5. Prohibiting any Party from using, possessing, leasing, renting or selling any
interest in the subject Real Property without first obtaining either written
consent from all the other parties, or a court order.
