Experienced Real Estate Partition Action Attorneys Serving Yorba Linda

Talkov Law’s attorneys serving Orange 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 allow co-owners to divide the property either by agreement or by court order. If the co-owners cannot agree on how to divide the property, then the court will divide the property in a way that is fair and equitable to all parties. The partition statutes also provide that any partition of the property must be in accordance with the laws of the state of California. The legal effect of the partition statutes is that it provides a legal mechanism for co-owners to divide their property without having to go through the court system.

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

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 minority owner force the sale of a property? There is no requirement for a majority vote for partition. Rather, an co-owner of any interest in property can force the sale.
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.
How does a partition action work in California?
How will the court in a California partition action determine how much each co-owner will receive from the sales proceeds? Generally, each co-owner will receive their fractional interest in the proceeds of sale based on their ownership interests. However, this amount can be enhanced or diminished by partition offsets whereby one co-owner paid more than their fractional interest for property expenses.

Lee v. National Collection Agency, Inc. – Partition Action Case Study

In the legal case of Lee v. National Collection Agency, Inc., 543 F.Supp. 920 (1982), the issue of partition was at the center of the dispute. The plaintiff, Lee, had purchased a parcel of land from the defendant, National Collection Agency, Inc. (NCA). The deed to the property was held in joint tenancy by Lee and NCA, and Lee sought to partition the property in order to gain sole ownership. NCA argued that the deed was not valid, as it had been signed by an unauthorized agent of the company. The court found that the deed was valid, and that Lee was entitled to partition the property. The court also found that NCA was not entitled to any compensation for the partition, as it had not made any improvements to the property.
