Property Division Vs Partition

Summary

Division refers to the physical division of property among owners, while partition is a legal process to divide property among co-owners, either physically or by sale. Ancestral property remains classified as such even if shares are officially recorded. Consider consulting a real estate attorney for guidance on partitioning ancestral property.
