Full text of Nevada Nevada Revised Statutes § 39.680 — Partition alternatives, with citation guidance and answers to common questions.
§ 39.680. Partition alternatives
1. If all the interests of all cotenants that requested partition by sale are not
purchased by other cotenants pursuant to NRS 39.675 or if, after conclusion of the buyout under NRS 39.675 , a cotenant remains that has requested partition in kind, the court shall order partition
in kind unless the court, after consideration of the factors listed in NRS 39.685 , finds that partition in kind will result in great prejudice to the cotenants as
a group. In considering whether to order partition in kind, the court shall approve a request
by two or more parties to have their individual interests aggregated. 2. If the court does not order partition in kind under subsection 1, the court shall
order partition by sale pursuant to NRS 39.690 or, if no cotenant requested partition by sale, the court shall dismiss the action. 3. If the court orders partition in kind pursuant to subsection 1, the court may require
that one or more cotenants pay one or more other cotenants amounts so that the payments,
taken together with the value of the in-kind distributions to the cotenants, will
make the partition in kind just and proportionate in value to the fractional interests
held. 4. If the court orders partition in kind, the court shall allocate to the cotenants
that are unknown, unlocatable or are the subject of a default judgment, if their interests
were not bought out pursuant to NRS 39.675 , a part of the property representing the combined interests of these cotenants as
determined by the court and this part of the property shall remain undivided.
