Experienced Real Estate Partition Action Attorneys Serving Indio
Talkov Law’s attorneys serving Riverside 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:
- Can a partition action be stopped or dismissed in California? The truth is that there are very few affirmative defenses in a partition action, and those defenses are rarely applied by courts in California.
- Who can file a partition action in California? Generally, any co-owner of real property can file a partition action.
- Can a minority owner force the sale of a property? There is no requirement for a majority vote for partition. Rather, an co-owner of any interest in property can force the sale.
- What are the potential outcomes of a partition action? The most likely outcome in a partition action is that the plaintiff receives fair value for their interest in the property either through a sale to a third party or to the defendant. In rare cases, a property can be divided, through this is not applicable to single family residences with no surplus land.
- How long does a partition action take in California?” Most partition actions are complete in 3 to 6 months because most cases settle in either a buyout or agreed sale. However, some cases can drag on for 6 to 12 months.

Hastings v. Cunningham – Partition Action Case Study
In the legal case of Hastings v. Cunningham, 35 Cal. 549 (1868), the issue was whether a partition of real property could be made without the consent of all the owners. The plaintiff, Hastings, owned a one-third interest in a piece of real property with two other owners, Cunningham and another. Hastings sought to partition the property, but Cunningham refused to consent. The court held that a partition could not be made without the consent of all the owners, and that Hastings was not entitled to a partition of the property. The court reasoned that a partition would be a violation of the rights of the other owners, and that it would be unfair to force them to accept a partition without their consent.
