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.

Montoya v. Gonzales – Partition Action Case Study
In the legal case of Montoya v. Gonzales, 232 U.S. 375 (1914), the Supreme Court of the United States was asked to decide whether a partition of land between two parties was valid. The dispute arose when the plaintiff, Montoya, purchased a tract of land from the defendant, Gonzales. Montoya then sought to partition the land into two separate parcels, one for himself and one for Gonzales. Gonzales objected to the partition, arguing that the land was not legally divisible. The Supreme Court ultimately held that the partition was valid, finding that the land was divisible and that the parties had agreed to the partition. The Court also noted that the partition was in the best interests of both parties. The case is important because it established the legal principle that land can be partitioned, even if it is not legally divisible.
