A partition action asks the court, pursuant to California Code of Civil Procedure Section 872.210, to divide the real property fairly between the different owners. For a property with a home or other development on it, this usually means selling the property and dividing the proceeds of the sale fairly amongst the different owners. The other option is to divide the property itself between the different owners, but that is easier to accomplish when the property is undeveloped.
Any person with an ownership interest in the property has the right to request that the property be partitioned. Because of the often emotional and personal nature of these actions, it is often wise to consult an experienced partition attorney, just like the ones at Schorr Law.
