DISSOLUTION OF CO-OWNERSHIP IN SERBIAN LAW
DISSOLUTION OF CO-OWNERSHIP IN SERBIAN LAW

Summary/Abstract: Co-ownership of property is a community in which co-owners are linked by property interests. When the property interests cease to exist, the co-owners can decide to dissolve the co-ownership. Co-ownership dissolution can occur by mutual agreement of the co-owners or in court proceedings. The consent of the co-owners or their agreement upon the method of division, is often not enough to carry out the partition by physical division. Co-owners often have to exercise the right to dissolve the co-ownership in court proceedings. The aim of this paper is to examine the basic features of co-ownership in Serbian legislation and comparative legislation, focusing on the issue of co-ownership dissolution and the problems that co-owners encounter when seeking to carry out a partition by physical division via a settlement before trial and become the sole owners of a part of real estate.
