CO-OWNER VS DERIVATIVE TITLE

Hello friends, today we shall talk about some of the differences between co-owner and concept known as a derivative title. In simplier language, a co-owner is a person who shares the joint right/title in a property. On the other hand, a person enjoying the derivative title, is the person who also enjoys a right in a property however it enjoys a right which is only inferior or to a lesser extent than that of the original owner. Secondly, the persons share in a co-ownership does not come in way to restrict his / her right in terms of enforcing the same against any third party. eg, suppose a person A and B are co-owners of a piece of land, wherein A has major share of say 70% & B has a share of 30%. Now say a person C has come and is trying to trespass in the said property without any authority. In such event, either A or B has full rights jointly as well as severally to institute a case in court of law and restrict C from entering. Here, either A or B can file a case and extent of their shares not come in way to institute the suit. Moreover, any of the co-owner can sell their share to any thrid party as much as to its extent and that person will now become a co-owner with that of the other existing owner.  Also each of the co-owner is said to occupy the property on behalf of other co-owners with respect to their own individual shares. However, in case of derivative title, the person who has subsequently aquired the title do not have the same rights as that of the co-owner. For eg, in case a person A has mortgaged his property in favor of B. Now B being a mortgagee has not acquired rights as that of A being a mortgagor. In other words, it can be said that the person enjoying the derivative title, only enjoys a inferior title with respect to the original owner whereas if persons are the co-owners, then each person enoys the same primary right with respect to the property in question.

I hope I have made myself clear in explaining the basics of the topic discussed herein.

Thanks
