Lincoln Co-Ownership Disputes
Our team of partition attorneys in Placer can assist co-owners with frequently asked questions about partitions, such as:
- Will there be a trial in a California partition action? Trials are extremely rare in partition actions because the interlocutory judgment procedure allows for a partition referee to be appointed by meeting just a few elements that rarely involve live testimony from witnesses. Even if a trial occurred, it would almost certainly relate only to the ownership interests or the distribution of proceeds, though most cases are decided on motion heard by the court based on the papers submitted by the parties.
- Who can file a partition action in California? Generally, any co-owner of real property can file a partition action.
- How long will it take for the plaintiff to receive his or her share of the sales proceeds? Usually, the property is marketed for sale or purchased by the defendant in 3 to 6 months. If a referee is appointed, that may take 6 to 9 months. With proper drafting of an interlocutory judgment of partition by sale, the referee can be required to disburse the proceeds promptly at the close of escrow or shortly thereafter.
- What type of relief can be granted by the court in a partition action? A partition action generally involves the sale or division of the property, along with an accounting of offsets.
- 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.

Palpar, Inc. v. Thayer – Partition Action Case Study
In the legal case of Palpar, Inc. v. Thayer, 82 Cal.App.2d 578 (1947), the issue of partition was at the center of the dispute. The case involved a dispute between two shareholders of Palpar, Inc., a California corporation. The plaintiff, Thayer, owned a majority of the shares of the corporation and sought to partition the corporation’s assets and liabilities among the shareholders. The defendant, Palpar, Inc., argued that the partition was not allowed under California law because the corporation was not a partnership. The court ultimately held that the partition was not allowed because the corporation was not a partnership and the shareholders did not have the authority to partition the corporation’s assets and liabilities. The court also held that the shareholders could not agree to a partition without the approval of the corporation’s board of directors.
