With decades of experience assisting clients in property and business matters, Real Estate Lawyer Paul M. Stoddard understands how to address real estate partitions and resolve issues. He helps businesses and private parties with commercial and residential properties, working to protect their interests and achieve successful outcomes.

Real estate partition actions are a legal process where the joint owners (at least two parties) wish to divide up the property that they co-own. This concept of partitioning or dividing up property can be applied to personal property as well, not just real estate. If co-owners of a property have conflicting ideas/goals about development or other differences, they may decide to file a partition action. This allows the court to assign part of the property value to each co-owner by sale or another legal solution. Partitions were originally used only in cases of inherited property. The Uniform Partition Heirs Property Act was later established to expand this concept to a larger range of circumstances in which equitable division of an asset is desired.

Filing Partition Actions in California

As a reliable partition lawyer, Mr. Stoddard guides clients through each phase of a California partition action:

1. Analysis: The first step is to carefully review the specific circumstances of your case. This helps determine the most effective way to resolve any issues.
