COPARCENARY (co-, with,. and parcener, i.e. sharer; from O. Fr. par confer, Lat. partitio, division)

This article appears in Volume V07, Page 94 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: COM-COR
COPARCENARY (co-, with,. and parcener, i.e. sharer; from O. Fr. par confer, Lat. partitio, division) , in law, the descent oflands of
inheritance
  from an ancestor to two or more persons possessing an equal
title
  to them. It arises either by common law, as where an ancestor dies intestate, leaving two or more females as his co-heiresses, who then take as coparceners or parceners; or, by particular custom, as in the
case
  of gavelkilad lands, which descend to all males in equal degrees, or in de-fault of males, to all the daughters equally. These co-heirs, or parceners, have been so called, says Littleton ( 241), "because by writ the law will constrain them, that
partition
  shall be made among them."
Coparcenary
  so far resembles
joint
  tenancy in that there is unity of
title
 ,
interest
  and possession, but whereas
joint
  tenants always claim by purchase, parceners claim by descent, and although there is unity of
interest
  there is no entirety, for there is no jus accrescendi or survivorship.
Coparcenary
  may be dissolved (a) by
partition
 ; (b) by
alienation
  by one coparcener; (c) by all the estate at last descending to one coparcener, who thenceforth holds in severalty; (d) by a compulsory partition or sale under the Partition Acts.
The
term
  " coparcenary " is not in use in the United States, joint heirship being considered as tenancy in common.
