Experienced Real Estate Partition Action Attorneys Serving Clovis

Talkov Law’s attorneys serving Fresno 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:

  • 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 the steps involved in a partition action in California? The first step is to file a partition complaint in California, which is followed by a request for the court to enter an interlocutory judgment of partition, thereby appointing a partition referee under the partition statutes.
  • Do I need to go to court to win a partition action? While the partition action must be filed with the court, partition actions rarely involve a trial in which the co-owners appear at court. This means it is extremely unlikely that you will need to step foot in a courtroom. Most partition work is done by motion practice involving tentative rulings with little interaction between the court and the attorneys, let alone the co-owners.
  • 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.
  • 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.

    Frazee v. Railroad Commission of California – Partition Action Case Study

    In the legal case of Frazee v. Railroad Commission of California, 185 Cal. 690 (1921), the issue was whether the Railroad Commission of California had the authority to partition a railroad right-of-way into two separate parcels. The plaintiff, Frazee, argued that the Commission had exceeded its authority in doing so, as the right-of-way was granted to the railroad company as a single parcel. The court ultimately held that the Commission had the authority to partition the right-of-way, as the right-of-way was granted to the railroad company for the purpose of constructing a railroad, and the Commission had the authority to regulate the construction of railroads.
