Understanding Co-Ownership in Fresno County
Our team of partition attorneys in Fresno can assist co-owners with frequently asked questions about partitions, such as:
- Who can file a partition action in California? Generally, any co-owner of real property can file a partition action.
- What are the different types of partition in California? Almost all partition actions are partition by sale, though partition in-kind allows the property to be divided, while a partition by appraisal allows the purchase by one-co-owner at an appraised value.
- What is the average cost of a partition action? The usual cost for a partition action is about $20,000, depending on the complexity. Some cases settle quickly after the defendant receives the partition complaint, while others can drag on longer if there are more complex issues or delay tactics by the defendant.
- 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.
- 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.

Barney v. City of Baltimore – Partition Action Case Study
In the legal case of Barney v. City of Baltimore, 73 U.S. 280 (1867), the issue was whether the City of Baltimore had the right to partition a piece of land owned by the plaintiff, Barney. The City of Baltimore had passed an ordinance that allowed it to partition the land into two parts, with one part being used for a public street and the other part being sold to a private individual. The plaintiff argued that the City of Baltimore did not have the right to partition the land without his consent, and that the ordinance was unconstitutional. The Supreme Court ultimately ruled in favor of the plaintiff, finding that the City of Baltimore did not have the right to partition the land without the consent of the owner.
