Question

Ken, Dale, and James are brothers who own more than 100 acres as tenants in common. The relationship between Ken and James disintegrated, and so James initiated a lawsuit. The end result is that the court gave each brother a designated set of acres to own. What was granted by the court?

Answer 1

Answer:

The court granted partition of the property.

Explanation:

• On a dispute between two or more parties regarding an undivided piece of property, a solution can be sought directly from the court.
• In cases of property disputes, after hearing the involved sides, the court most probably grants partition of property to end the dispute.
• If the partition of the property is not possible, the court most probably orders a sale of the property and asks the parties to share the amount amongst themselves as specified by the court.
