Understanding Co-Ownership in Nevada County

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

• Can you lose interest in a jointly owned home by moving out? Generally, co-owners maintain their ownership interests regardless of whether they live at the property. However, in rare cases, leaving the property for many years without paying taxes or other expenses may allow the co-owners in possession to argue that they have adversely possessed the property. Generally, these co-ownership disputes do not get easier with time, so it is important to act promptly.
• 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.
• Can a Trust File a Partition? Yes, a trust can file a partition action as the co-owner of real property in California.
• Can I be forced into selling a jointly owned house? Under California’s Partition of Real Property Act, a co-owner will have a right to buyout the property. However, absent a buy out at the appraised price, a plaintiff will likely be able to force the sale of a jointly owned house.
• 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.

The town is also home to a number of historic sites, including the Truckee Railroad Museum and the Donner Memorial State Park.

The Los Angeles community of Truckee has a long and storied history. The area was originally inhabited by the Paiute and Washoe Native American tribes, who lived in the area for centuries before the arrival of European settlers. The first recorded European settler in the area was John A. Truckee, who arrived in 1844 and established a trading post. The area was later named after him. In the late 19th century, the area became a popular destination for tourists and vacationers, and the town of Truckee was officially incorporated in 1893. The town grew rapidly in the early 20th century, and by the 1950s, it had become a popular ski destination. Today, Truckee is a thriving community with a population of over 16,000 people. It is home to a variety of businesses, restaurants, and recreational activities, and is a popular destination for outdoor enthusiasts.

In the legal case of Tavares v. Varain, 2005 WL 236385, F043760 (26-Jan-2005) , the issue of partition was at the center of the dispute. The case involved a dispute between two siblings over the ownership of a parcel of land that had been inherited from their father. The siblings had agreed to divide the land into two equal parts, but the defendant argued that the plaintiff had not followed the agreed-upon partition plan. The defendant argued that the plaintiff had taken more than his fair share of the land, and that the partition was not equal. The court ultimately found in favor of the defendant, ruling that the partition was not equal and that the plaintiff had taken more than his fair share of the land.
