coownership

Joint property holding

Coownership is shared ownership of property, assets, or rights by two or more parties.

Each coowner holds an interest in the whole rather than owning separate portions: The siblings held the beach house in coownership after their parents died.

The arrangement appears in real estate, business partnerships, and intellectual property.

Also spelled co-ownership.
