Practice question
Two co-owners receive separate duplicates for the same undivided land. One argues that possessing a duplicate creates exclusive ownership of the whole despite the registered co-ownership and absence of partition. Which is best?
- Each duplicate independently creates ownership of the entire land
- Separate duplicates document the registered co-ownership; issuance alone is not a partition or acquisition of the others’ shares
- The other duplicate becomes void automatically
- The larger sheet controls ownership
- The co-owner may erase the other name
