    Martinez v. Moreno – Partition Action Case Study

    In the legal case of Martinez v. Moreno, 2008 WL 283952, B199225 (4-Feb-2008) , the issue of partition was at the center of the dispute. The case involved a dispute between two siblings over the ownership of a family home. The siblings had inherited the home from their parents, and the dispute arose when one sibling wanted to sell the home and the other wanted to keep it. The court had to decide whether the siblings should be allowed to partition the home, meaning that they would divide the home into two separate parts and each sibling would own one part. The court ultimately ruled that the siblings could not partition the home, as it would be too difficult to divide the home in a way that would be fair to both parties. The court also noted that partitioning the home would likely result in a decrease in the value of the home, which would not be in the best interests of either party.

    Frequently Asked Questions About Partitions in Wheatland

    The costs of a partition action, including attorney fees, court fees, appraiser fees, and other legal expenses, are typically around $10,000 to $15,000 for less complex cases. These fees are shared among the co-owners. However, the court may adjust the distribution of these costs based on each party’s level of involvement or responsibility, allowing for a fairer allocation when needed.

    A partition action can be filed by any co-owner of a property, excluding married couples who own it as community property. A majority ownership is not required to initiate a partition action. Common situations for partition actions include disputes among siblings inheriting property, former romantic partners, friends or family members who purchased property together, and divorced couples.

    In Wheatland, each party typically pays for their own attorney’s fees (known as the “American Rule”). However, California partition law allows for an exception to this rule, stating that “the court shall apportion the costs of partition among the parties in proportion to their interests or make such other apportionment as may be equitable.” California Code of Civil Procedure 874.040. Indeed, the court may award “reasonable attorney’s fees incurred or paid by a party for the common benefit.” California Code of Civil Procedure 874.010(a).

    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.
