Summary

Existing law authorizes an owner of an estate in real property to commence and maintain an action for partition of the property against all persons having or claiming interests in the estate as to which partition is sought. If the court finds that the plaintiff is entitled to partition, it is required to make an interlocutory judgment that determines the interests of all owners of the property and orders that the property be divided among those parties in accordance with their interests or sold with the proceeds divided among them, as specified. Under the Uniform Partition of Heirs Property Act, specified procedures apply in an action to partition real property that is heirs property, defined as property for which there is no agreement regarding partition in a record that binds the cotenants of the property, one or more of the cotenants acquired title from a relative, and meets one of specified thresholds regarding cotenants who are relatives or who acquired title from a relative. This bill would enact the Partition of Real Property Act, which would expand the scope of the Uniform Partition of Heirs Property Act to apply to any real property held in tenancy in common where there is no agreement in a record binding all the cotenants which governs the partition of the property. The bill would make other conforming changes.
