Understanding Co-Ownership in Riverside County

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

• What types of properties can be subject to a partition action in California? All co-owned real or personal property can be partitioned under California law. Cal. Civ. Proc. Code § 872.020.
• What are the potential outcomes of a partition action? The most likely outcome in a partition action is that the plaintiff receives fair value for their interest in the property either through a sale to a third party or to the defendant. In rare cases, a property can be divided, through this is not applicable to single family residences with no surplus land.
• How much does a partition action cost? The cost of a partition action can vary widely depending on the complexity of the case. A typical partition action usually costs between $5,000 and $12,000, with about $8,000 being the most common cost. However, difficulty locating a defendant, the motion to appoint a partition referee, delay tactics by defendants, and other issues may raise the cost of your partition action. An experienced partition lawyer can mitigate costs and resolve your co-ownership dispute with maximum efficiency.
• What is recoverable in a partition action? “In a suit for partition it is a general rule that all equities and conflicting claims existing between the parties and arising out of their relation to the property to be partitioned may be adjusted.” Demetris v. Demetris (1954) 125 Cal. App. 2d 440. This means that co-owners can assert offsets or recover payments of the mortgage, taxes, insurance, repairs and improvements in excess of their fractional interests.
• Can we negotiate a settlement instead of going through a partition action? We find that the best solution is to file the partition action, then negotiate a settlement. Defendants often reach a more reasonable settlement when they are being advised by a partition attorney who will explain that the plaintiff is very likely to obtain the sale of the property.

Corona, California was founded in 1886 by the Santa Fe Railroad. The city was named after the crown-like shape of the peak of the nearby Santa Ana Mountains. The city was incorporated in 1896 and has since grown to become a major suburb of Los Angeles. In the early 20th century, Corona was known for its citrus groves and was the largest lemon-producing center in the world. The city has since become a major hub for manufacturing, retail, and transportation.

In the legal case of Cristy v. Spring Valley Water-Works, 68 Cal. 73 (1885), the issue of partition was at the center of the dispute. The case involved a dispute between two parties over the ownership of a water-works system. The plaintiff, Cristy, claimed that he owned the entire system, while the defendant, Spring Valley Water-Works, argued that it owned a portion of the system. The court had to decide whether the system should be divided into two parts, with each party owning a portion, or whether the entire system should remain under the ownership of one party. The court ultimately decided that the system should be divided into two parts, with each party owning a portion. This decision established the legal precedent that when two parties are in dispute over the ownership of a property, the court may order a partition of the property in order to resolve the dispute.
