Yorba Linda Co-Ownership Disputes

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

• What is a partition referee? A partition referee is a neutral third party, often times a lawyer or real estate broker, who completes the sale for the co-owners under court authority. The referee is then paid for their services either on an hourly, flat fee, or commission basis, and is relieved by the court of their duties in the case.
• How much does a partition action cost? The cost of a partition action can vary widely depending on the complexity of the case. A typical partition action usually costs between $5,000 and $12,000, with about $8,000 being the most common cost. However, difficulty locating a defendant, the motion to appoint a partition referee, delay tactics by defendants, and other issues may raise the cost of your partition action. An experienced partition lawyer can mitigate costs and resolve your co-ownership dispute with maximum efficiency.
• Who can file a partition action in California? Generally, any co-owner of real property can file a partition action.
• How does a partition action work in California?
• What are the steps involved in a partition action in California? The first step is to file a partition complaint in California, which is followed by a request for the court to enter an interlocutory judgment of partition, thereby appointing a partition referee under the partition statutes.

Our Yorba Linda Partition Attorneys Know Orange County

Yorba Linda is a city located in the northeastern corner of Orange County, California. It is known for its rural atmosphere and its proximity to the Santa Ana Mountains. The city is home to the Richard Nixon Presidential Library and Museum, as well as the Yorba Linda Country Club. The city is also home to a variety of parks, trails, and recreational facilities. Yorba Linda is a great place to live, work, and play, with its close proximity to Los Angeles, Anaheim, and other nearby cities.

Yorba Linda, California was founded in 1834 by Bernardo Yorba, a Spanish soldier and rancher. The city was originally known as “Rancho Canón de Santa Ana” and was part of the Mexican land grant of Rancho Santiago de Santa Ana. In 1858, the Yorba family sold the land to the Abel Stearns family, who developed the area into a cattle ranch. In 1908, the Yorba Linda Water Company was established, providing water to the area. In 1912, the Pacific Electric Railway was extended to the area, connecting it to Los Angeles. In 1925, the city was incorporated and the name was changed to Yorba Linda. In the 1940s, the city began to experience rapid growth due to the influx of people from the Midwest and East Coast. The city was also home to the Richard Nixon Presidential Library and Museum, which opened in 1990. Today, Yorba Linda is a thriving city with a population of over 67,000. It is known for its beautiful parks, trails, and golf courses, as well as its proximity to Los Angeles and Orange County.

In the legal case of Lee v. National Collection Agency, Inc., 543 F.Supp. 920 (1982), the issue of partition was at the center of the dispute. The plaintiff, Lee, had purchased a parcel of land from the defendant, National Collection Agency, Inc. (NCA). The deed to the property was held in joint tenancy by Lee and NCA, and Lee sought to partition the property in order to gain sole ownership. NCA argued that the deed was not valid, as it had been signed by an unauthorized agent of the company. The court found that the deed was valid, and that Lee was entitled to partition the property. The court also found that NCA was not entitled to any compensation for the partition, as it had not made any improvements to the property.
