Hi, 

We are three siblings that own a rural property together. One of us are thinking about getting a divorce. He is married in community of property which means his wife is entitled to 50% of his portion of the land. What are our options in this case. 

1. Can we subdivide the property and register a portion in her name and what would the costs be.

2. Could we loose the property if we are unable to pay her out?

Hi there,

I see that you haven't made a payment for the question, but I'm going to assist you a little. If you want to ask a follow-up question, please make the required payment.

Technically, his wife will be entitled to 50% of their joint estate. So, that means that he could decide to keep the farm and his car and some cash, and she could keep their marital house, her car, the furniture, and some other cash.

As long as everything that he walks away with is 50% of the joint estate, and the same for her, it doesn't matter if he keeps this or she keeps that. 

Obviously there will need to be an agreement reached. 

Often, parties will say: you keep the house, and I will keep the investments and the cash.

Please remember this is a dialog if you have follow-up questions please make the required payment, then use the REPLY button and ask your further question. I would like to continue assisting you, but I need to concentrate on people who make payments for their questions.
