Which is a method of partition?

• A. By agreement
• B. In kind through court
• C. Forced sale through court
• D. All of the above

Answer: (D)

Partition of co-owned real property can be achieved in several ways. If all owners agree, they can divide the property or their interests without court intervention. When the matter goes to court, partition in kind is pursued if the land can be fairly split into separate parcels without harming value. If a physical division isn’t feasible or would ruin the property's value, the court can order partition by sale, selling the property and dividing the proceeds among the owners. Because each of these methods is a recognized option, the best answer is all of the above.
