Experienced Real Estate Partition Action Attorneys Serving West Covina
Talkov Law’s attorneys serving Los Angeles 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 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.
- Are there ways to make my partition action less expensive? There are numerous ways to obtain a less expensive partition action in California. For example, having your documents organized can ensure you don’t have to pay your attorney to go through a disorganized mess to get the information they need.
- Can I be forced into selling a jointly owned house? Under California’s Partition of Real Property Act, a co-owner will have a right to buyout the property. However, absent a buy out at the appraised price, a plaintiff will likely be able to force the sale of a jointly owned house.
- Can a partition action be stopped? Generally, a partition action cannot be stopped, but a defendant may be able to buy time to seek a resolution. Eventually, however, the plaintiff can generally force the sale of the property based on the absolute right to partition.

Goodale v. Fifteenth Dist. Court – Partition Action Case Study
In the legal case of Goodale v. Fifteenth Dist. Court, 6 P.C.L.J. 391 (1880), the issue was whether a partition of real estate could be made without the consent of all the parties involved. The plaintiff, Goodale, owned a piece of real estate with two other parties, and he wanted to partition the land without the consent of the other two parties. The court held that a partition of real estate could not be made without the consent of all the parties involved. The court reasoned that a partition of real estate was a contract between the parties, and that all parties must agree to the terms of the contract in order for it to be valid. The court also noted that a partition of real estate was a matter of public policy, and that it was necessary to protect the rights of all parties involved.
