Topic: Undivided co ownership


  
  Condominium - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
It is the legal term used in the United States and in most provinces of Canada for a type of joint ownership of real property in which portions of the property are commonly owned and other portions are individually owned.
An alternative form of ownership, popular in the United States but found also in other common law jurisdictions, is the "cooperative" corporation, also known as "company share" or "co-op", in which the building has an associated legal company and ownership of shares gives the right to a lease for residence of a unit.
Common law tradition holds that real property ownership must involve land, whereas the French civil law tradition recognized condominium ownership as early as the 1804 Napoleonic Code; thus, it is notable that condominiums evolved in the United States via a Caribbean government with a hybrid common-civil legal system.

Undivided co-ownership of the spouses relates to all tangible assets (including money) that may be considered property, lawfully acquired by any one of the spouses in the time of the existence of the marriage.
Exclusive individual ownership by a spouse also applies to assets delivered to him or her pursuant to legislation on restitution, provided that they had been in their respective ownership prior to the marriage, or were delivered to them as to legal successors of the original owner.
Undivided co-ownership is terminated by discontinuation of the marriage or rescinded, for grave reasons, by court decision applied for by either of the spouses while the marriage still existed.
