Inheritance and Partition · 5 min read · By SANAD Team

A partition deed formally divides property held jointly (often by a family) into separate, defined shares for each co-owner. It is a key document in orderly succession planning.

What it records

The parties, the property, and the specific share allotted to each person, executed and registered so the division is legally recognised.

Follow with phodi

For land, follow the partition with a survey sub-division (phodi) so each share becomes a separately measured, marketable parcel.

Documents & details checklist

• Ownership documents for the joint property
• Details and consent of all co-owners
• Draft partition terms and schedule of shares

Frequently asked questions

Is a partition deed the same as a will?

No. A partition divides property among living co-owners now; a will takes effect after death. Take legal advice on which suits your situation.
