Experienced Real Estate Partition Action Attorneys Serving Auburn
Talkov Law’s attorneys serving Placer County are exceptionally experienced in the area of California partition actions. California partition actions provide a legal mechanism for co-owners of real property to divide the property among themselves. The partition statutes allow a co-owner to file a lawsuit in court to have the property divided, either physically or by awarding each co-owner a certain percentage of the property’s value. The court will then order the property to be divided according to the co-owners’ wishes. The partition statutes also provide that if the court finds that a physical division of the property is not possible, it may order the property to be sold and the proceeds divided among the co-owners.
Our team of partition attorneys can assist co-owners with frequently asked questions about partitions, such as:
- Can a Trust File a Partition? Yes, a trust can file a partition action as the co-owner of real property in California.
- How long will it take for the plaintiff to receive his or her share of the sales proceeds? Usually, the property is marketed for sale or purchased by the defendant in 3 to 6 months. If a referee is appointed, that may take 6 to 9 months. With proper drafting of an interlocutory judgment of partition by sale, the referee can be required to disburse the proceeds promptly at the close of escrow or shortly thereafter.
- What are the costs associated with a partition action? The costs of a partition action generally involve the attorney’s fees, and court costs, but can involve referee fees and broker’s fees if the property is sold.
- What are my partition rights for inherited property? Co-owners of inherited property generally have the absolute right to force the sale of the property through a partition action.
- In a partition action, can I be reimbursed for paying more than my fair share of the down payment? Yes, partition actions allow for offsets whereby one co-owner claims excess payments for mortgage, taxes, insurance, improvements, repairs and other property expenses

Goss v. Corcoran – Partition Action Case Study
In the legal case of Goss v. Corcoran, 2020 WL 879397, B281718 (24-Feb-2020) , the partition issues revolved around the division of a parcel of real property located in Los Angeles County, California. The property was owned by the Goss family, who had been living on the property for over 50 years. The Goss family had been in a dispute with the Corcoran family, who had purchased a portion of the property from the Goss family in the past. The dispute centered around the Goss family’s claim that the Corcoran family had not properly divided the property, and that the Corcoran family had encroached on the Goss family’s portion of the property. The court ultimately ruled in favor of the Goss family, ordering the Corcoran family to pay the Goss family for the encroachment and to properly divide the property.
