Experienced Real Estate Partition Action Attorneys Serving Arroyo Grande

Talkov Law’s attorneys serving San Luis Obispo County are exceptionally experienced in the area of California partition actions. A California partition action is a law that allows co-owners of real property to divide the property among themselves. The partition statutes provide a legal mechanism for co-owners to divide the property without having to go through the court system. The partition statutes allow co-owners to divide the property either by agreement or by court order. If the co-owners cannot agree on how to divide the property, then the court will divide the property in a way that is fair and equitable to all parties. The partition statutes also provide that any partition of the property must be in accordance with the laws of the state of California. The legal effect of the partition statutes is that it provides a legal mechanism for co-owners to divide their property without having to go through the court system.

Our team of partition attorneys can assist co-owners with frequently asked questions about partitions, such as:

  • When is a partition action right for my dispute? Generally, parties who can reach their own resolution of a co-ownership dispute are not reading websites about partition law. If you are reading this article, chances are that your co-ownership dispute has reached a level where legal options are being considered. Filing a partition action will bring about a certain result to the co-ownership dispute, rather than letting it linger for years on end. However, if the parties are very close to a settlement, it may be wise to consider a resolution.
  • How long will it take to get the property partitioned and sold? Most commonly, 3 to 6 months is all that it takes for the defendant to agree to a sale or buyout the plaintiff’s interest in the property for a fair value. Some cases may take 6 to 12 months.
  • Can a minority owner force the sale of a property? There is no requirement for a majority vote for partition. Rather, an co-owner of any interest in property can force the sale.
  • What type of relief can be granted by the court in a partition action? A partition action generally involves the sale or division of the property, along with an accounting of offsets.
  • Can I recover my attorney’s fees in a partition action? Yes, you can recover your legal fees in a partition action through a motion for attorney’s fees. However, most partitions settle, and most settlements involve a walk-away of attorney’s fees, meaning it important to hire a partition attorney who will handle the matter efficiently since each party is likely to pay their own fees.

    Schmidt v. Etter – Partition Action Case Study

    In the legal case of Schmidt v. Etter, 2002 WL 31888045, A094878 (30-Dec-2002) , the issue of partition was at the center of the dispute. The case involved a dispute between two siblings over the partition of their parents’ real property. The siblings had inherited the property from their parents, and the dispute arose when one sibling wanted to sell the property and the other wanted to keep it. The court had to decide whether the property should be partitioned or sold. The court ultimately decided that the property should be partitioned, with each sibling receiving an equal share. The court also ordered that the siblings should pay the costs of partitioning the property. The court’s decision was based on the fact that the siblings had inherited the property as tenants in common, and that partition was the only way to ensure that each sibling received an equal share of the property.
