(a) Where division cannot be made equally among the parties according to their interests without prejudice to the rights of some, compensation may be required to be made by one party to another to correct the inequality.
(b) No compensation shall be required to be made to others by unknown owners or by minors unless it appears that a minor has personal property sufficient for that purpose and the minor’s interest will be promoted thereby.
Notes
Allows compensation from one party to another when property cannot be divided according to their interests without prejudicing some parties, to correct the resulting inequality. Unknown owners may not be required to pay such compensation, and minors may not be required unless a minor has sufficient personal property and the payment would promote the minor’s interest.
