Experienced Real Estate Partition Action Attorneys Serving Napa County

Talkov Law’s attorneys serving Napa 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? Generally, a partition action cannot be stopped, but a defendant may be able to buy time to seek a resolution. Eventually, however, the plaintiff can generally force the sale of the property based on the absolute right to partition.
  • How do I file a partition action? Partition actions must be filed in the county where some or all of the co-owned real property is located by way of a partition complaint. While filing the complaint is relatively easy, reaching the end of the partition as quickly and efficiently as possible requires the skill of an experienced partition attorney.
  • 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 my partition rights for inherited property? Co-owners of inherited property generally have the absolute right to force the sale of the property through a partition action.
  • What are the grounds for a partition action in California? A co-owner is “entitled to partition as a matter of absolute right,” meaning “he need not assign any reason for his demand; that it is sufficient if he demands a severance; and that when grounds for a sale are duly established it may be demanded as of right. To grant it is not a mere matter of grace.” De Roulet v. Mitchel (1945) 70 Cal.App.2d 120, 123-124.

    East Shore Co. v. Richmond Belt Ry. – Partition Action Case Study

    In the legal case of East Shore Co. v. Richmond Belt Ry., 172 Cal. 174 (1916), the issue was whether a partition of a parcel of land was valid. The parcel of land was owned by two parties, East Shore Co. and Richmond Belt Ry. East Shore Co. had attempted to partition the parcel of land, but Richmond Belt Ry. argued that the partition was invalid because it was not done in accordance with the law. The court ultimately held that the partition was valid, but that the parties must agree to the terms of the partition in order for it to be legally binding. This case is important because it established the legal precedent that a partition of land must be done in accordance with the law in order to be valid.
