Experienced Real Estate Partition Action Attorneys Serving Huntington Beach

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.

Our team of partition attorneys can assist co-owners with frequently asked questions about partitions, such as:

  • What are the different types of partition in California? Almost all partition actions are partition by sale, though partition in-kind allows the property to be divided, while a partition by appraisal allows the purchase by one-co-owner at an appraised value.
  • What is a partition action and when is it necessary?
  • How will the property be divided if a partition action is successful? In most partition actions, the property will be sold, rather than being divided. If the property is eligible for partition in-kind, the court can appoint a referee to prepare a report on dividing the property in a manner that does not damage the value of the fractional interests.
  • What to expect in a California partition action? Partition actions necessarily resolve the conflict between co-owners through an expedited statutory process. A capable partition attorney will assist in expediting the process and producing the most favorable outcome.
  • What are the tax implications of a partition action? It is best to seek the advice of a tax attorney or CPA about tax issues. However, the most common tax issues in partitions, like other sales, can involve capital gains taxes and the potential partial or full reassessment of property taxes.

    Christy v. Spring Valley Waterworks – Partition Action Case Study

    In the legal case of Christy v. Spring Valley Waterworks, 97 Cal. 21 (1892), the California Supreme Court was asked to decide whether a partition of a waterworks system was permissible. The case involved a dispute between two shareholders of the Spring Valley Waterworks Company, who each owned a one-half interest in the company. The plaintiff, Christy, wanted to partition the waterworks system, while the defendant, Spring Valley Waterworks Company, argued that such a partition would be impossible and would destroy the value of the company. The court ultimately held that a partition of the waterworks system was not permissible, as it would destroy the value of the company and would be contrary to the interests of the other shareholders. The court also noted that the waterworks system was a single, indivisible unit, and that any attempt to divide it would be contrary to the interests of the other shareholders.
