co-owners
Shared property holders
Co-owners are people who share ownership of something—property, a business, a pet.
The term emphasizes joint possession with equal or defined stakes: The co-owners of the restaurant split profits fifty-fifty.
Unlike partners, which suggests active collaboration, co-owners may have little involvement beyond holding title together.
