UAE Civil Transactions Law

Article 1071

Book Three: Original Real Rights (in Rem) · Section One: Right of Ownership · Chapter Two: Co-Ownership in Common · Part Two: Termination of Co-ownership

1. The co-partitioners shall mutually warrant one another against any adjudication of ownership in favor of a third party or any disturbance of title affecting the share allotted to any of them, where such adjudication or disturbance arises from a cause prior to the partition. Each co-partitioner shall be bound, in proportion to their share, to compensate the party entitled to the warranty. The value of the thing at the time of partition shall be the basis for estimating its value. If one of the co-partitioners is insolvent or bankrupt, the portion attributable thereto shall be distributed among the party entitled to the warranty and all non-insolvent or non-bankrupt co-partitioners. 2. There shall be no warranty if there is an express agreement providing for exemption therefrom in the specific case from which it arose, and the warranty shall likewise be excluded where the adjudication is attributable to the act of the co-partitioner themself.
