Hunter Fuller · Answer 1

Partition suit

Explanation:

A partition suit is a type of lawsuit that seeks to settle the differences that is involved among co-owners of a property, who could not agree on the division or sales of a jointly owned property. A partition suit could be filed by any of the co-owners of the property, in order for the court to rule on the case, in such a way that the property that is jointly owned by the individuals is shared according to a particular ratio or based on bounds.

Since Curly wants to divest himself of the property that is jointly owned by three of them, and the three of them could not find an agreeable plan on how to equitably divide the property that is jointly owned, Curly should file a partition suit in order to seek an equitable distribution of the property.
