Tenants in common may have unequal shares, but they will be held to be equal unless the contrary appears. The fact of inequality shall not give the person holding the greater interest any privileges as to possession which are superior to those of the person owning a lesser interest so long as the tenancy continues.","path":["TITLE 44 Property","CHAPTER 6 Estates","Article 7 Tenancy in Common","PART 1 In General"],"source_url":"https://archive.org/download/gov.ga.ocga.2018/release86.2022.11/gov.ga.ocga.title.44.odt","current_through":"Release 86 (2022-11)","vintage":"Public.Resource.Org bulk O.C.G.A., Release 86 (2022-11), retrieved 2026-09-17","retrieved_at":"2026-09-17T19:34:57Z","sha256":"59033b8f452bdbb58e89d39e6e7120ce2690139ac2234916f35ffa0b96c9d9e5","source_id":"us-ga","stale":false,"prev":"us-ga/o.c.g.a.-44-6-106","next":"us-ga/o.c.g.a.-44-6-121"},"notice":"GroundRules: Original legal text.
