Experienced Real Estate Partition Action Attorneys Serving Corona
Talkov Law’s attorneys serving Riverside 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 sale. The court will then order the division of the property in a way that is fair and equitable to all parties. The partition statutes also provide that any proceeds from the sale of the property must be divided among the co-owners in proportion to their respective interests in the property.
Our team of partition attorneys can assist co-owners with frequently asked questions about partitions, such as:
- What is a partition referee? A partition referee is a neutral third party, often times a lawyer or real estate broker, who completes the sale for the co-owners under court authority. The referee is then paid for their services either on an hourly, flat fee, or commission basis, and is relieved by the court of their duties in the case.
- What is a partition action and when is it necessary?
- Who can file a partition action in California? Generally, any co-owner of real property can file a partition action.
- How much does a partition action cost? The cost of a partition action can vary widely depending on the complexity of the case. A typical partition action usually costs between $5,000 and $12,000, with about $8,000 being the most common cost. However, difficulty locating a defendant, the motion to appoint a partition referee, delay tactics by defendants, and other issues may raise the cost of your partition action. An experienced partition lawyer can mitigate costs and resolve your co-ownership dispute with maximum efficiency.

Cristy v. Spring Valley Water-Works – Partition Action Case Study
In the legal case of Cristy v. Spring Valley Water-Works, 68 Cal. 73 (1885), the issue of partition was at the center of the dispute. The case involved a dispute between two parties over the ownership of a water-works system. The plaintiff, Cristy, claimed that he owned the entire system, while the defendant, Spring Valley Water-Works, argued that it owned a portion of the system. The court had to decide whether the system should be divided into two parts, with each party owning a portion, or whether the entire system should remain under the ownership of one party. The court ultimately decided that the system should be divided into two parts, with each party owning a portion. This decision established the legal precedent that when two parties are in dispute over the ownership of a property, the court may order a partition of the property in order to resolve the dispute.
