    Ankenbrandt v. Shannahan – Partition Action Case Study

    In the legal case of Ankenbrandt v. Shannahan, 2009 WL 850152, D052576 (1-Apr-2009) , the partition issue at hand was whether the trial court had the authority to order a partition of the property in question. The plaintiff, Ankenbrandt, argued that the trial court had the authority to order a partition of the property, while the defendant, Shannahan, argued that the trial court did not have the authority to order a partition of the property. The court ultimately ruled in favor of Ankenbrandt, finding that the trial court did have the authority to order a partition of the property. The court reasoned that the partition statute was broad enough to encompass the facts of the case and that the trial court had the authority to order a partition of the property.

    Frequently Asked Questions About Partitions in Hawaiian Gardens

    The costs of a partition action, including attorney fees, court fees, appraiser fees, and other legal expenses, are typically around $10,000 to $15,000 for less complex cases. These fees are shared among the co-owners. However, the court may adjust the distribution of these costs based on each party’s level of involvement or responsibility, allowing for 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 Hawaiian Gardens, 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.
