§ 24445. Costs of Partition.

The costs of partition, including reasonable counsel fees, expended by the

plaintiff or any of the defendants, for the common benefit, fees of referees, and

other disbursements, must be paid by the parties respectively entitled to share in

the lands divided, in proportion to their respective interests therein, and may be

included and specified in the judgment. In that case they shall be a lien on the

several shares, and the judgment may be enforced by execution against such

shares, and against other property held by the respective parties. When,

however, litigation arises between some of the parties only, the court may

require the expense of such litigation to be paid by the parties thereto, or any of

them. The fees of referees shall be at the rate of Two Dollars ($2.00) per day.
