OBS

Coparceners held in undivided shares. Each coparcener held a distinct but undivided share which might be equal or unequal in size to the shares of the others. (Megarry & Wade, 4th ed., 1975, p. 431).

OBS

Unlike joint tenants, tenants in common hold in undivided shares: each tenant in common has a distinct share in property which has not yet been divided among the co-tenants. Thus tenants in common have quite separate interests; the only fact which brings them into co-ownership is that they both have shares in a single property which has not yet been divided among them. While the tenancy in common lasts, no one can say which of them owns any particular parcel of land. (Megarry & Wade, 4th ed., 1975, p. 396).
