Experienced Real Estate Partition Action Attorneys Serving Mariposa County
Talkov Law’s attorneys serving Mariposa County are exceptionally experienced in the area of California partition actions. A California partition action is a law that allows co-owners of real property to divide the property among themselves. The partition statutes provide a legal mechanism for co-owners to divide the property without having to go through the court system. The partition statutes also provide a way for co-owners to resolve disputes over the division of the property. The partition statutes provide that the court may order a partition of the property if the co-owners cannot agree on a division. The court may also order the sale of the property and the division of the proceeds among the co-owners. The partition statutes also provide that the court may award attorney’s fees and costs to the prevailing party in a partition action.
Our team of partition attorneys can assist co-owners with frequently asked questions about partitions, such as:
- What is the average cost of a partition action? The usual cost for a partition action is about $8,000 to $12,000, depending on the complexity. Some cases settle quickly after the defendant receives the partition complaint, while others can drag on longer if there are more complex issues or delay tactics by the defendant.
- How long will it take to get the property partitioned and sold? Most commonly, 3 to 6 months is all that it takes for the defendant to agree to a sale or buyout the plaintiff’s interest in the property for a fair value. Some cases may take 6 to 12 months.
- 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.

Grossman v. King – Partition Action Case Study
In the legal case of Grossman v. King, 2009 WL 18688, C057157 (5-Jan-2009) , the issue of partition was at the center of the dispute. The plaintiff, Grossman, owned a parcel of land that was divided into two lots. The defendant, King, owned the other lot. Grossman sought to partition the land, which would have resulted in the two lots being divided into four separate parcels. King opposed the partition, arguing that it would be detrimental to his property rights. The court ultimately ruled in favor of Grossman, finding that the partition would not be detrimental to King’s property rights and that it was in the best interests of both parties to divide the land into four separate parcels.
