Experienced Real Estate Partition Action Attorneys Serving Pismo Beach
Talkov Law’s attorneys serving San Luis Obispo 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:
- 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 does a partition action work in California?
- How much does a partition action cost? The cost of a partition action can vary widely depending on the complexity of the case. A typical partition action usually costs between $5,000 and $12,000, with about $8,000 being the most common cost. However, difficulty locating a defendant, the motion to appoint a partition referee, delay tactics by defendants, and other issues may raise the cost of your partition action. An experienced partition lawyer can mitigate costs and resolve your co-ownership dispute with maximum efficiency.
- How to force the sale of jointly owned property? A partition action is the only statutory method to ensure the end of the co-ownership dispute.
- What type of relief can be granted by the court in a partition action? A partition action generally involves the sale or division of the property, along with an accounting of offsets.

Bradley v. Bradley – Partition Action Case Study
In the legal case of Bradley v. Bradley, 2010 WL 1692310, B218626 (28-Apr-2010) , the partition issues revolved around the division of a family-owned property. The property was owned by the Bradleys, a married couple, and was located in Los Angeles County. The couple had been married for over 40 years and had two adult children. The couple had agreed to divide the property into two separate parcels, with one parcel going to each of the children. However, the couple had not been able to agree on the terms of the partition, and the wife had filed a partition action in court. The court ultimately ruled in favor of the wife, ordering the property to be divided into two separate parcels and awarding each of the children a parcel. The court also ordered the husband to pay the wife’s attorney’s fees.
