partition by sale

Partition by sale is a legal process used to divide shared property among co-owners. When co-owners cannot agree on how to manage or use the property, one party can request a partition by sale. This typically involves selling the property and distributing the proceeds according to each owner's share. It aims to resolve disputes fairly and allows each owner to receive their portion of the property’s value. This process ensures that no one is forced to co-own property against their will, promoting clarity and resolution in property ownership.
