partition statutes

Partition statutes are legal provisions that allow co-owners of a property to divide their shared ownership. When multiple people own a property together and cannot agree on its use or management, these statutes enable any owner to request the property be divided or sold. The goal is to resolve disputes and allow each owner to receive their fair share, whether through physical division of the property or by selling it and distributing the proceeds. These laws ensure that co-owners can protect their rights and interests in their shared property.
