Experienced Real Estate Partition Action Attorneys Serving Daly City
Talkov Law’s attorneys serving San Mateo 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 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 does a partition action work in California?
- Can heirs force the sale of property? Heirs can force the sale of real property in California once that property is distributed to them. However, sometimes, the property is still held in a trust where the trustee will sell the property. When there is no trust, the probate court may decide that the probate administrator will sell the property before it is distributed in fractional interests to the heirs.
- Can I recover my attorney’s fees in a partition action? Yes, you can recover your legal fees in a partition action through a motion for attorney’s fees. However, most partitions settle, and most settlements involve a walk-away of attorney’s fees, meaning it important to hire a partition attorney who will handle the matter efficiently since each party is likely to pay their own fees.

Gonzalez v. Gonzalez – Partition Action Case Study
In the legal case of Gonzalez v. Gonzalez, 174 Cal. 588 (1917), the issue of partition was at the center of the dispute. The case involved a dispute between two siblings over the partition of a piece of real estate that had been inherited from their father. The siblings had agreed to divide the property, but the agreement was not legally binding. The court had to decide whether the siblings had the right to partition the property, and if so, how it should be divided. The court ultimately ruled that the siblings had the right to partition the property, but that it should be divided in a way that was fair and equitable to both parties.
