Indio Co-Ownership Disputes

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

• What is the average cost of a partition action? The usual cost for a partition action is about $8,000 to $12,000, 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.
• 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.
• Are there methods to resolve a partition situation without a court-ordered sale? The vast majority of partitions are solved without a court-ordered sale. Many times, the defendant will buy out the plaintiff’s interest. Other times, the parties will agree to a voluntary sale on the open market. However, the filing of the partition action is generally what forces the defendant to see the wisdom of settlement. Under California’s Partition of Real Property Act, a defendant can buy out the interest of the plaintiff at an appraised value, meaning that a court-ordered sale is only likely occur where the defendant simply can’t afford to buy the property but still won’t agree to sell.
• 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 are my partition rights for inherited property? Co-owners of inherited property generally have the absolute right to force the sale of the property through a partition action.

Our Indio Partition Attorneys Know Riverside County

Indio is a city located in Riverside County, California, in the Coachella Valley of Southern California’s Colorado Desert region. It is the largest city in the Coachella Valley and the largest in the state east of Los Angeles. Indio is known for its hot desert climate, its annual music festivals, and its proximity to Joshua Tree National Park. The city is home to a diverse population, with a large Hispanic population, and is a popular destination for tourists and snowbirds. Indio is home to a variety of attractions, including the Fantasy Springs Resort Casino, the Coachella Valley History Museum, the Coachella Valley Preserve, and the Shields Date Garden.

Indio, California is located in the Coachella Valley of Riverside County. The area was first inhabited by the Cahuilla people, who were the original inhabitants of the Coachella Valley. The first non-native settlers arrived in the area in the 1870s, when the Southern Pacific Railroad was built through the area. The town of Indio was officially founded in 1876, and was named after a Spanish word meaning “Indian”. The town quickly grew, and by the early 1900s, it had become a popular destination for tourists. In the 1920s, the area began to develop as an agricultural center, and the date industry became the main source of income for the area. In the 1940s, the area began to experience a population boom, and by the 1950s, Indio had become a major tourist destination. Today, Indio is a thriving city, with a population of over 90,000 people. It is home to the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival, which is one of the largest music festivals in the world.

In the legal case of Hastings v. Cunningham, 35 Cal. 549 (1868), the issue was whether a partition of real property could be made without the consent of all the owners. The plaintiff, Hastings, owned a one-third interest in a piece of real property with two other owners, Cunningham and another. Hastings sought to partition the property, but Cunningham refused to consent. The court held that a partition could not be made without the consent of all the owners, and that Hastings was not entitled to a partition of the property. The court reasoned that a partition would be a violation of the rights of the other owners, and that it would be unfair to force them to accept a partition without their consent.
