Talkov Law’s attorneys serving Orange 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.

Gardiner v. Cord – Partition Action Case Study
In the legal case of Gardiner v. Cord, 145 Cal. 157 (1904), the issue was whether a partition of real property could be made without the consent of all the owners. The case involved a dispute between two brothers, William and John Gardiner, over the partition of a piece of real property that they jointly owned. William wanted to partition the property, while John did not. The court held that a partition of real property could not be made without the consent of all the owners, and that William could not partition the property without John’s consent. This case established the principle that all owners of real property must agree to a partition before it can be legally enforced.
