Ühisomandina

Ühisomandina refers to a form of co-ownership in Estonian property law. It signifies a situation where multiple individuals hold rights to the same property. This can arise in various scenarios, such as when a property is inherited by several heirs or when a couple jointly purchases real estate. The core principle of ühisomandina is that each co-owner possesses an undivided share of the entire property, rather than a distinct physical portion.

The extent of each co-owner's rights and obligations is typically determined by the underlying agreement or legal basis for the co-ownership. In the absence of specific agreements, Estonian law outlines default rules for managing and utilizing the shared property. Co-owners generally have the right to use the property, but their use must not infringe upon the rights of other co-owners. Decisions regarding the property's administration usually require the consent of all co-owners, or a majority depending on the specific context and legal provisions.

Disagreements among co-owners can sometimes lead to requests for the division of the property. This division can be physical, if the property allows for it, or through a sale and distribution of the proceeds. The legal framework surrounding ühisomandina aims to provide a clear structure for shared ownership and facilitate its management and potential dissolution.
