In every state in the United States as well as in many other countries such as Canada and Scotland, the answer is the opposite as any cotenant -- no matter how small his or her undivided interest -- may initiate a partition action and can request a judge to order a forced, partition sale of the whole property even if all of the other cotenants oppose such a request. This is referred to as partition by sale as opposed to partition in kind which is a physical division of the property among the cotenants. Judges in many states here often order a sale in such circumstances. Is the law in Trinidad and Tobago really different than partition law in almost every other country that recognizes tenancy in common ownership? Can you identify legal treatises that address how partition actions are handled in Trinidad and Tobago?
