2A:56-39. Partition or sale of remainders and reversions; consent of particular tenant required
Where there is an estate for life or lives, or other less estate, in real estate situate in this state, and the reversion or remainder in fee is owned by several persons as cotenants, the court may, upon consent of the particular tenant or tenants thereto, partition the real estate among the several cotenants, and the particular tenant or tenants shall thereafter have the same estate or estates in the respective parts set off in severalty as he or they had in the whole real estate before it was partitioned.
If partition of the real estate, or any part thereof, cannot be made without great prejudice to the cotenants and a sale thereof is ordered instead, the whole estate, in possession as well as in expectancy, in the real estate or part thereof that cannot be divided, shall be sold. Such portion of the proceeds of the sale shall be paid to the particular tenant or tenants as the court ordering the partition or sale shall, according to the quantity of his or their estate or interest therein, ascertain to be just and reasonable.
