Experienced Real Estate Partition Action Attorneys Serving Malibu

Talkov Law’s attorneys serving Los Angeles 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:

  • How will the property be divided if a partition action is successful? In most partition actions, the property will be sold, rather than being divided. If the property is eligible for partition in-kind, the court can appoint a referee to prepare a report on dividing the property in a manner that does not damage the value of the fractional interests.
  • What happens to any debts or liens on the property during a partition action? Secured debts are paid from the sale of the property. Secured lenders named in a partition action are generally dismissed with an agreement to pay the mortgage at the time of the sale.
  • Can a Trust File a Partition? Yes, a trust can file a partition action as the co-owner of real property in California.
  • What are the steps involved in a partition action in California? The first step is to file a partition complaint in California, which is followed by a request for the court to enter an interlocutory judgment of partition, thereby appointing a partition referee under the partition statutes.
  • What to expect in a California partition action? Partition actions necessarily resolve the conflict between co-owners through an expedited statutory process. A capable partition attorney will assist in expediting the process and producing the most favorable outcome.

    Kraft v. Krausch – Partition Action Case Study

    In the legal case of Kraft v. Krausch, 2003 WL 22430209, C043271 (27-Oct-2003) , is a legal case involving a dispute over the partition of a parcel of real property. The dispute arose when the parties, Kraft and Krausch, were unable to agree on the terms of a partition agreement. Kraft argued that the parcel should be divided into two equal parts, while Krausch argued that the parcel should be divided into three parts, with two parts going to Kraft and one part going to Krausch. The court ultimately ruled in favor of Kraft, finding that the parcel should be divided into two equal parts. The court also found that Krausch was not entitled to any additional compensation for his share of the parcel. The case highlights the importance of parties coming to an agreement on the terms of a partition agreement before taking the matter to court.
