Partition actions are lawsuits used to resolve disputes between co-owners of real estate. When two or more people own property together and cannot agree whether to sell, divide, or manage the property, California law allows a court to order a partition. In many cases the court orders the property sold and the proceeds divided between the owners.
Poulin Law Offices represents property owners in partition actions throughout Contra Costa County and the East Bay. Partition disputes frequently arise between siblings who inherit property, former romantic partners, business partners, or investors who purchased property together but later disagree about how it should be handled.
Partition lawsuits in California are governed by Code of Civil Procedure section 872.010 and related statutes, which allow a co-owner to force the sale or division of jointly owned property when an agreement is not possible.
