    Nguyen v. Le – Partition Action Case Study

    In the legal case of Nguyen v. Le, 2023 WL 354729, G061299 (23-Jan-2023) , the partition issues revolve around the division of a property owned by the two parties. The plaintiff, Nguyen, is seeking to partition the property, which is owned jointly by both parties, into two separate parcels. The defendant, Le, is arguing that the property should remain undivided and that Nguyen should be compensated for her share of the property. The court must decide whether to grant the partition or to deny it and award compensation to Nguyen. The court must also consider the potential impact of the partition on the value of the property and the rights of both parties.

    Frequently Asked Questions About Partitions in Grover Beach

    The costs of a partition action—including attorney fees, court fees, appraiser fees, and other legal expenses—are typically around $20,000. While some cases may incur fees as low as $5,000 or exceed $20,000, depending on their complexity, these expenses are generally shared among the co-owners. The court may also adjust the distribution of these costs based on each party’s level of involvement or responsibility, ensuring a fairer allocation when needed.

    A partition action can be filed by any co-owner of a property, excluding married couples who own it as community property. A majority ownership is not required to initiate a partition action. Common situations for partition actions include disputes among siblings inheriting property, former romantic partners, friends or family members who purchased property together, and divorced couples.

    In Grover Beach, each party typically pays for their own attorney’s fees (known as the “American Rule”). However, California partition law allows for an exception to this rule, stating that “the court shall apportion the costs of partition among the parties in proportion to their interests or make such other apportionment as may be equitable.” California Code of Civil Procedure 874.040. Indeed, the court may award “reasonable attorney’s fees incurred or paid by a party for the common benefit.” California Code of Civil Procedure 874.010(a).

    Generally, a partition action cannot be stopped, but a defendant may be able to buy time to seek a resolution. Eventually, however, the plaintiff can generally force the sale of the property based on the absolute right to partition.
