Partitions in simple words mean something that separates one part of space from another. Black’s Law Dictionary defines Partition as “ the act of dividing real property held jointly or in common by two or more persons into individually owned interests (Partition in kind). It is the segregation of property owned in undivided shares, so as to vest in each co-owner exclusive title to a specific portion in lieu of his undivided interest in the whole.” The term ‘partition’ is generally applied to real estate.
