Undivided Interest

by | Feb 15, 2026

In real estate law, an undivided interest is a partial ownership interest held by two or more persons in the same property. Each owner has the right to use and possess the entire property, even though their ownership shares may be equal or unequal.

An undivided interest does not grant any specific physical portion of the property to an individual owner. Instead, each co owner’s interest extends to the whole property in proportion to that owner’s share.
