Experienced Real Estate Partition Action Attorneys Serving Westmorland

Talkov Law’s attorneys serving Imperial County are exceptionally experienced in the area of California partition actions. A California partition action is a law that allows co-owners of real property to divide the property among themselves. The partition statutes provide a legal mechanism for co-owners to divide the property without having to go through the court system. The partition statutes also provide a way for co-owners to resolve disputes over the division of the property. The partition statutes provide that the court may order a partition of the property if the co-owners cannot agree on a division. The court may also order the sale of the property and the division of the proceeds among the co-owners. The partition statutes also provide that the court may award attorney’s fees and costs to the prevailing party in a partition action.

Our team of partition attorneys can assist co-owners with frequently asked questions about partitions, such as:

  • Who can file a partition action in California? Generally, any co-owner of real property can file a partition action.
  • 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.
  • How long will it take to get the property partitioned and sold? Most commonly, 3 to 6 months is all that it takes for the defendant to agree to a sale or buyout the plaintiff’s interest in the property for a fair value. Some cases may take 6 to 12 months.
  • What is a partition action and when is it necessary?
  • When is a partition action right for my dispute? Generally, parties who can reach their own resolution of a co-ownership dispute are not reading websites about partition law. If you are reading this article, chances are that your co-ownership dispute has reached a level where legal options are being considered. Filing a partition action will bring about a certain result to the co-ownership dispute, rather than letting it linger for years on end. However, if the parties are very close to a settlement, it may be wise to consider a resolution.

    Hernandez v. Luna – Partition Action Case Study

    In the legal case of Hernandez v. Luna, 2021 WL 688593, E073303 (23-Feb-2021) , the partition issues revolve around the division of a parcel of real property located in California. The property was owned by the decedent, who passed away in 2018, and was left to his two children, the plaintiff and the defendant. The plaintiff filed a petition for partition of the property, arguing that the defendant was refusing to cooperate in the sale of the property. The defendant argued that the property should be divided into two separate parcels, with each party receiving one parcel. The court found that the defendant was entitled to a partition of the property, and ordered that the property be divided into two separate parcels. The court also ordered that the parties bear their own costs and expenses associated with the partition.
