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.

Romanchek v. Romanchek – Partition Action Case Study

In the legal case of Romanchek v. Romanchek, 248 Cal.App.2d 337 (1967), the issue of partition was at the center of the dispute. The case involved a dispute between two siblings over the partition of their parents’ estate. The siblings had inherited the estate from their parents, who had died without a will. The siblings had agreed to partition the estate, but the agreement was never formalized. The court found that the siblings had agreed to partition the estate, but that the agreement was not binding because it was not in writing. The court also found that the siblings had not taken any action to partition the estate, and that the estate had not been partitioned in accordance with the agreement. The court held that the siblings were entitled to partition the estate, but that the partition must be done in accordance with the agreement.
