The partition statutes also provide that any partition of the property must be in accordance with the laws of the state of California. The legal effect of the partition statutes is that it provides a legal mechanism for co-owners to divide their property without having to go through the court system.

    Evenson v. Brown – Partition Action Case Study

    In the legal case of Evenson v. Brown, 2010 WL 2991682, C059930 (2-Aug-2010) , the issue of partition was at the center of the dispute. The case involved a dispute between two siblings over the ownership of a family home. The siblings had inherited the home from their parents, and the dispute arose when one sibling wanted to sell the home and the other wanted to keep it. The court had to decide whether the siblings should be allowed to partition the home, meaning that each sibling would receive a portion of the home, or whether the home should be sold and the proceeds divided between the siblings. The court ultimately ruled that the home should be partitioned, with each sibling receiving a portion of the home.
