CCP 874.311
First, this statute declares the name of the Act as the Partition of Real Property Act.
Second, it applies to property that is held in tenancy in common, not in joint tenancy. This statute also requires that there not be an agreement regarding the partition of the property.
Third, if the above factors are met, the Partition of Real Property Act may apply so long as the partition is filed on or after January 1, 2023. This statute also replaces the Uniform Partition of Heirs Property Act, which only applied to certain partitioned actions filed from January 1 to December 31, 2022 under former Code of Civil Procedure § 874.313. The Partition of Real Property Act has now taken its place.
