Understanding Property Partition (Amsabanda) in Nepal
Under the Civil Code of Nepal, property partition is based on the concept of coparceners (Hissedar). Every coparcener is entitled to a completely equal share of the family property:
1. Who is a Coparcener? (Section 205)
Coparceners include the husband, wife, father, mother, sons, and daughters. They are the immediate family members who have an equal claim to the ancestral property.
2. Equal Share Rule (Section 206)
Each coparcener receives an equal share. For example, if there are parents and two children (four coparceners in total), the ancestral property is split into four equal parts (25 percent each).
3. Protection of Unborn Children
If a female coparcener is pregnant during the partition, the unborn child is considered a coparcener. A share must be set aside for the child before the rest of the property is divided.
4. Formal Partition Deed
For a partition to be legally recognized, a written partition deed must be drafted, signed by all coparceners in the presence of witnesses, and registered at the local land revenue office (Malpot Karyalaya).
