Nevarov v. Nevarov – Partition Action Case Study
In the legal case of Nevarov v. Nevarov, 133 Cal.App.2d 457 (1955), the issue of partition was at the center of the dispute. The case involved a dispute between two siblings over the partition of a family home. The siblings had inherited the home from their parents, and the plaintiff, the brother, wanted to partition the home so that each sibling could have their own separate residence. The defendant, the sister, argued that the home should remain undivided and that the brother should be allowed to live in the home as a tenant. The court ultimately ruled in favor of the plaintiff, finding that the brother was entitled to a partition of the home. The court also found that the sister had no right to remain in the home as a tenant, as she had not contributed to the purchase of the home or to its upkeep.
