share and share alike

Everyone gets same

Share and share alike means dividing something equally among all parties, with no one getting more than another.

The phrase emphasizes fair, even distribution: The inheritance went to the three siblings, share and share alike.

It often appears in wills and legal documents but also in everyday contexts about splitting costs or resources.
