Shared ownership of a real estate property sometimes sounds like a simple and convenient solution, especially when it comes to family members, business partners, heirs, or ex-partners. But in reality, it is very quickly that difficult questions arise: who uses the property, who is entitled to rent, who carries expenses, whether it is possible to sell, and what happens when one of the partners wants to move forward and the other refuses.
In such situations, the legal process called dissolution of sharing comes into play. This is a mechanism designed to end a situation in which some people hold together the property and fail to reach an agreement on how to manage it.
This situation is more common than it seems. It exists between siblings who inherited an apartment together and do not agree whether to sell or rent, between partners who held a plot together and the relationship between them fell apart, between spouses after separation, and also between family members who entered together into a joint investment without pre-determined clear exit mechanism.
As long as the relationship is good everything seems to be soluble, but once a dispute begins, the property itself sometimes becomes a stalemate that makes it difficult for all parties to move forward.
In many cases, the answer is yes. Israeli law recognizes the right of a partner not to remain bound to a shared property forever. Therefore, a partner can file a claim for dissolution of a partnership even if the other partners do not agree.
However, the manner of the liquidation varies from case to case. Sometimes it is possible to make a physical division of the land, and sometimes the solution is the sale of the entire property and the distribution of the proceeds between the partners.
When the property is not divided, the court may order its sale. This means that even if one of the partners is not interested in selling, the legal process can lead to the sale of the property and the distribution of the proceeds.
In such cases, it is important to carefully examine the options: whether the share of another partner can be purchased, whether there is a mechanism in a sharing agreement, and whether there are additional obligations or rights that need to be taken into account.

Dissolution of land sharing is a significant legal process that allows partners to be released from joint ownership when there is no agreement on how to manage the property. In many cases the process leads to the sale of the property, so it is important to understand the rights, options and consequences well before starting such a move.

It is often said that lawyers are exploitative and unfair people. This office came to erase this stigma. The entire staff there is lovely, and they do their job faithfully. In my case, I dealt with Attorney Hussam Armali, and I must say that I have never met such an honest, decent, and goal-oriented person. Thank you very much from the bottom of my heart 🙏
I contacted Karen just to figure out whether it was worth selling a piece of land we inherited or keeping it. She sat down with me and explained the whole picture – rights, taxation, what can be done in the future. She didn’t try to push in a certain direction, and that was the most important thing to me.
Karin Amsalem, a professional and thorough attorney of the highest level! Represented us in the process of selling a plot of land that we won in a tender. This is a complex process that includes registering lease rights in the Land Registry, payments to the Land Registry such as consent fees, refunding subsidies for housing and construction, as well as handling the appreciation tax, which includes many expenses. Karin managed the entire process with professionalism, accuracy and attention to detail, while fully protecting our interests as sellers. Throughout the entire process, we felt that we had someone to trust. Highly recommend her!
