Experienced Real Estate Partition Action Attorneys Serving Monrovia

Talkov Law’s attorneys serving Los Angeles 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 filed for both real property and personal property in California? Yes, all co-owned real and personal property can be partitioned under California law. Cal. Civ. Proc. Code § 872.020.
  • Will there be a trial in a California partition action? Trials are extremely rare in partition actions because the interlocutory judgment procedure allows for a partition referee to be appointed by meeting just a few elements that rarely involve live testimony from witnesses. Even if a trial occurred, it would almost certainly relate only to the ownership interests or the distribution of proceeds, though most cases are decided on motion heard by the court based on the papers submitted by the parties.
  • What is California’s Partition of Real Property Act? Effective January 1, 2023, California’s new partition law allows defendants to buy out the interests of the plaintiff at an appraised value.
  • What types of properties can be subject to a partition action in California? All co-owned real or personal property can be partitioned under California law. Cal. Civ. Proc. Code § 872.020.
  • 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.

    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.
