Co-Ownership Disputes
Our team of partition attorneys in Madera can assist co-owners with frequently asked questions about partitions, such as:
- Can I still file a partition if my co-owner has filed for bankruptcy? Yes, the partition action can generally be filed in the bankruptcy court or the bankruptcy court can apply state partition law to allow offsets when the co-owned property is sold by the bankruptcy trustee.
- 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 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.
- Can a partition action be stopped? Generally, a partition action cannot be stopped, but a defendant may be able to buy time to seek a resolution. Eventually, however, the plaintiff can generally force the sale of the property based on the absolute right to partition.
- How long does a partition action take in California?” Most partition actions are complete in 3 to 6 months because most cases settle in either a buyout or agreed sale. However, some cases can drag on for 6 to 12 months.

Our Madera County Partition Attorneys Know Madera County
Madera County is a county located in the Central Valley of California. It is located east of Fresno County and north of Mariposa County. The county seat is Madera. The county has a total area of 2,204 square miles and a population of 152,984 as of the 2010 census. The county is home to the Sierra National Forest, Yosemite National Park, and Bass Lake. The county is known for its agricultural production, including grapes, almonds, and citrus fruits. It is also home to several wineries and vineyards. The county is also home to a variety of outdoor activities, including camping, fishing, hiking, and boating.
Madera County was formed in 1893 from the southern part of Mariposa County. The county was named after the Spanish word for wood, as the area was heavily forested. The first settlers in the area were miners and ranchers, who were attracted to the area by the gold rush of 1849. The county was also home to the Yokut and Mono Native American tribes. In the early 1900s, the county began to develop its agricultural industry, with the first large-scale irrigation project being completed in 1911. The county also became a major producer of citrus fruits, grapes, and other crops. In the 1950s, Madera County began to experience rapid population growth, as people moved to the area to take advantage of the booming agricultural industry. This growth has continued to the present day, with the county now home to over 150,000 people.
Cuprite Mine Partners LLC v. Anderson – Partition Action Case Study
In the legal case of Cuprite Mine Partners LLC v. Anderson, 809 F.3d 548 (2015), the issue of partition was at the center of the dispute. The case involved a dispute between two partners in a mining venture, Cuprite Mine Partners LLC (CMP) and Anderson. CMP sought to partition the mining venture, while Anderson argued that the venture was not subject to partition. The court had to determine whether the venture was subject to partition under Arizona law. The court ultimately held that the venture was subject to partition, and that CMP was entitled to a partition of the venture. The court also held that Anderson was not entitled to any compensation for his interest in the venture. This case highlights the importance of understanding the legal implications of a partnership agreement, and the potential for disputes over the partition of a venture.
