Experienced Real Estate Partition Action Attorneys Serving Salinas
Talkov Law’s attorneys serving Monterey 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 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 are the different types of partition in California? Almost all partition actions are partition by sale, though partition in-kind allows the property to be divided, while a partition by appraisal allows the purchase by one-co-owner at an appraised value.
- What are the tax implications of a partition action? It is best to seek the advice of a tax attorney or CPA about tax issues. However, the most common tax issues in partitions, like other sales, can involve capital gains taxes and the potential partial or full reassessment of property taxes.
- What to expect in a California partition action? Partition actions necessarily resolve the conflict between co-owners through an expedited statutory process. A capable partition attorney will assist in expediting the process and producing the most favorable outcome.
- Can a partition action be stopped or dismissed in California? The truth is that there are very few affirmative defenses in a partition action, and those defenses are rarely applied by courts in California.

Darbee & Immel Oyster & Land Co. v. Pacific Oyster Co. – Partition Action Case Study
In the legal case of Darbee & Immel Oyster & Land Co. v. Pacific Oyster Co., 150 Cal. 392 (1907), the issue of partition was at the center of the dispute. The case involved a dispute between two oyster companies over the ownership of a certain oyster bed. The oyster bed was located in a navigable bay and was owned by the state of California. The two companies had both been granted leases to the oyster bed by the state, but the leases had expired. The two companies disagreed over who had the right to the oyster bed, and the court was asked to decide who had the right to the oyster bed. The court held that the oyster bed should be partitioned between the two companies, with each company receiving an equal share of the oyster bed. The court also held that the oyster bed should be divided in such a way that each company would have access to the same amount of oysters. The court’s decision in this case established the legal principle that when two parties have conflicting claims to a piece of property, the property should be partitioned in an equitable manner.
