4 Dissolution of Co-ownership

The co-ownership's end: partition (the division-by-parcel or sale-and-share — the full procedure in Unit 8); merger (the shares united in one hand — the co-heir buying all); destruction of the property; allotment by sale (the court's auction); and — the succession context — the family's transformation (the joint holding's conversion to individual titles on partition's registration). The consequences: the lis pendens effect (partition suits binding the property); the warranty of shares (the co-owners' mutual warranties post-division); the severed property's independent life (new kitta numbers, new registers, new disputes).
