Meaning of Coparcener, Coparcenary<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n

common<\/a> ownership arising by descent<\/a> as when lands descend on an intestacy to several<\/a> persons as co-heirs and the persons so inheriting are called coparceceners. under<\/a> common law<\/a> , coparcenary arose by descent only and was of two kinds: 1. Coparcenary which took place<\/a> where<\/a> an ancestor<\/a> died intestate<\/a> leaving two or more females as his co-heiresses. since<\/a> there<\/a> is no primogeniture<\/a> among woman in equal<\/a> relationship to their ancestor, they took as coparceners, as one heir; and 2. descent by particular<\/a> custom<\/a> as in the case of gavelkind<\/a> lands which descended to all the males in equal degree. Coparceners had a unity though not an equality of interest<\/a> ; each coparcener was entitled to the whole of a distinct moiety<\/a> and upon the death<\/a> of a coparcener his or her heirs would<\/a> inherit<\/a> that moiety. The unity of interest<\/a> meant that they were seized of the estate<\/a> jointly and severally, although the estate might<\/a> vest in them at different periods. The distinction between<\/a> joint<\/a> tenancy<\/a> and coparcenary, in addition to<\/a> the fact that there was no survivorship<\/a> among coparceners, was that coparceners came about<\/a> only by descent. However, as in joint tenancy<\/a> , coparcenary may be dissolved by alienation by one of the parties<\/a> which destroyed the unity of title<\/a> , by compulsory partition<\/a> and by estate descending to one person<\/a> ultimately.
