Jointly Owned Property Issues in Whittier

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

• What to expect in a California partition action? Partition actions necessarily resolve the conflict between co-owners through an expedited statutory process. A capable partition attorney will assist in expediting the process and producing the most favorable outcome.
• What are the costs associated with a partition action? The costs of a partition action generally involve the attorney’s fees, and court costs, but can involve referee fees and broker’s fees if the property is sold.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.

In the legal case of Hsu v. Duan, Not Reported in Cal.Rptr.2d (2002), the court was tasked with determining the validity of a partition agreement between two parties. The agreement stated that the parties would divide the property in question into two separate parcels, with each party receiving one parcel. The court found that the agreement was invalid because it did not provide for a clear and definite division of the property. The court also found that the agreement did not provide for a method of determining the value of each parcel, nor did it provide for a method of determining how the costs of the partition would be divided between the parties. Additionally, the court found that the agreement did not provide for a method of determining who would be responsible for any taxes or other liabilities associated with the partition. Finally, the court found that the agreement did not provide for a method of determining who would be responsible for any disputes that may arise between the parties.
