    You should have asked this question in the other thread, but the answer to this question would best be given by a California attorney experienced in property litigation. It will, at a minimum, require the filing and service of a complaint, the filing of an answer by the defendant(s), perhaps some discovery and motion practice, the appointment of a special master (or whatever it's called in California) to either come up with a plan to subdivide the property or to sell it, and the division of the proceeds.

    Perhaps a year or more.
