FAQ

A California partition action happens when one co-owner of real property wants to sell but other co-owners do not want to sell their ownership rights. Partition means division. The opposing co-owners have the absolute right by law to divide the property and sell their portion with the legal remedy of “Partition”.

How Partition In Texas Works. Texas law provides each co-owner of real property with an absolute right to have their property partitioned through a forced judicial sale. Texas courts are required to partition property even if only one co-owner makes such a request, and the courts have no wiggle room or discretion.

The purpose of a partition proceeding is to eliminate a present concurrent interest in the same property so that each owner may enjoy and possess their interest in severalty. Partitions may be compulsory (judicial) or voluntary. Property can always be partitioned by consent of the owners.

Partition lawsuits can be expensive, with costs potentially ranging from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of dollars. The biggest expenses typically include attorney fees, court costs, and expert witness fees.

Converting Community Property: Partition Agreements In Texas, this is done via a written agreement establishing a partition or exchange between the parties. A partition or exchange agreement is much like a prenuptial agreement, but it can be executed at any time during the marriage.

Under Texas law, spouses can enter into partition or exchange agreements in which one spouse transfers all or part of their present or soon-to-be-acquired community property to the other, thereby transmuting it into the separate property of the receiving spouse.

Even if only one spouse's name is on the deed, any property bought during the marriage is presumed to be community property, unless it was bought with separate property funds. The spouse claiming it as separate property must prove it in court.

Property acquired during the marriage (outside of the noted exceptions) is considered community property. The spouses can, however, agree to convert (or “transmute”) community property into separate property. In Texas, this is done via a written agreement establishing a partition or exchange between the parties.

With this in mind, if you and your spouse purchased a home during your marriage, the home will most likely be characterized as community property. If you or your spouse owned the home before marriage, it will most likely be considered separate property (and possibly subject to reimbursement claims).

Yes, but only if you keep it distinct from community property and maintain clear records to prove its separate status. Commingling funds can lead to the entire account being considered community property.
