Co-parceny

Last modified: Thu Feb 23 16:37:37 2006

An obsolete form of CoOwnershipOfLand which was automatically assumed when land was inherited by two or more sisters, there being no male heir. Each co-parcenor held an equal share of the title, and had the same rights of possession over the whole estate (we would call this an UndividedShare these days). Unlike a TenancyInCommon, which it resembles in other ways, a co-parecency could be severed at law, that is, it could be `partitioned' into equal and distinct legal estates. A tenancy in common could not, and indeed still can not, be partitioned without re-conveying the legal estate on different terms.
