A partition action is a court case that ends co ownership by dividing the property or ordering its sale. It creates a lawful path to resolve interests and proceeds.
In California, any co owner with an interest can ask the court to partition the property. If there are many owners, the court may appoint a special master to oversee the process.
Buyout price is typically based on a professional appraisal and an agreement on shares. The court can approve a price or direct mediation to reach a fair figure.
