Property Ownership

In Louisiana, a 'co-owner' of immovable property may seek a partition of the property because:

ACo-ownership is generally considered a temporary state in Louisiana law — any co-owner may demand partition after the initial contract period✓ Correct
BPartition is only available by agreement of all co-owners
CCo-owners may never force a partition
DPartition requires a 2/3 majority vote of co-owners

Explanation

Louisiana Civil Code Article 807 gives each co-owner the right to demand partition of co-owned property at any time, unless there is a valid agreement to delay partition (which cannot exceed 15 years). Co-ownership is inherently temporary under Louisiana law.
