Jointly Owned Property Issues in Jurupa Valley
Our team of partition attorneys in Riverside can assist co-owners with frequently asked questions about partitions, such as:
- What are the tax implications of a partition action? It is best to seek the advice of a tax attorney or CPA about tax issues. However, the most common tax issues in partitions, like other sales, can involve capital gains taxes and the potential partial or full reassessment of property taxes.
- Can I recover my attorney’s fees in a partition action? Yes, you can recover your legal fees in a partition action through a motion for attorney’s fees. However, most partitions settle, and most settlements involve a walk-away of attorney’s fees, meaning it important to hire a partition attorney who will handle the matter efficiently since each party is likely to pay their own fees.
- 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.
- How long will it take to get the property partitioned and sold? Most commonly, 3 to 6 months is all that it takes for the defendant to agree to a sale or buyout the plaintiff’s interest in the property for a fair value. Some cases may take 6 to 12 months.

Geary v. De Espinosa – Partition Action Case Study
In the legal case of Geary v. De Espinosa, 51 Cal.App. 52 (1921), the issue was whether a partition of property between two co-owners was valid. The court held that the partition was invalid because it was not made in good faith. The court found that the partition was made in order to benefit one of the co-owners, and not to fairly divide the property between the two. The court also found that the partition was not made in accordance with the law, as it did not take into account the rights of the other co-owner. The court held that the partition was invalid and that the co-owners must continue to hold the property as tenants in common.
