1. The remainder of each real estate listed in the separate sheet after deducting the cost of the auction from the proceeds of the auction;
Reasons
1. In full view of the purport of the entire arguments in evidence Nos. 1 and 2, the Plaintiff and the Defendants shared shares as indicated in the separate sheet as to each real estate listed in the separate sheet (hereinafter “instant real estate”), and it can be recognized that consultation on the method of partition of the instant real estate has not been reached between the Plaintiff and the Defendants by the date of closing argument of the instant case. As such, the Plaintiff, co-owner of the instant real estate, as co-owner of the instant real estate, may file a partition of co-owned property pursuant to Articles 268 and 269 of the Civil Act against
2. The partition of co-owned property, based on the decision on the method of partition of co-owned property, shall be made by the method of in-kind partition, or, even if it is impossible in-kind, if the price might be reduced remarkably due to the auction of the co-owned property, by the method of so-called price partition.
Here, "The price is significantly reduced due to the in-kind division" refers to not only the case where the exchange value of the whole co-owned property is significantly reduced due to the in-kind division but also the case where the value of the part to be owned independently due to the in-kind division is considerably reduced compared to the share value in the co-owners before the partition of co-owned property.
Therefore, even if it is possible to divide property in kind formally, if it is not possible to divide property in kind according to the share ratio of each co-owner in kind, it is not necessary to divide the property in kind, but to divide the property jointly owned by the method of payment in kind in consideration of the location, area and surrounding road conditions, use value, price, share ratio of co-owner's ownership and use and profit-making status, etc.
