Talkov Law’s attorneys serving Orange County are exceptionally experienced in California partition actions and have conducted over 370 partitions for our satisfied clients. 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.

- 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.
- How long will it take for the plaintiff to receive his or her share of the sales proceeds? Usually, the property is marketed for sale or purchased by the defendant in 3 to 6 months. If a referee is appointed, that may take 6 to 9 months. With proper drafting of an interlocutory judgment of partition by sale, the referee can be required to disburse the proceeds promptly at the close of escrow or shortly thereafter.
- 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.
- In a partition action, can I be reimbursed for paying more than my fair share of the down payment? Yes, partition actions allow for offsets whereby one co-owner claims excess payments for mortgage, taxes, insurance, improvements, repairs and other property expenses

Hughes v. Devlin – Partition Action Case Study
In the legal case of Hughes v. Devlin, 23 Cal. 501 (1863), the California Supreme Court was asked to decide whether a partition of land between two co-owners was valid. The court held that the partition was invalid because the two co-owners had not agreed to the terms of the partition. The court found that the partition was not made in good faith and that the two co-owners had not agreed to the terms of the partition. The court also found that the partition was not made in accordance with the law and that the two co-owners had not taken into consideration the interests of the other co-owner. The court held that the partition was invalid and that the two co-owners must come to an agreement on the terms of the partition.
