Full Text of § 874.240

Text size

A conveyance or transfer pursuant to Sections 873.750 and 873.790 or Section 873.960 is binding and conclusive, in the same manner as a judgment.

Plain-English Summary

Not every partition ends with a formal judgment resolving everything at once — sometimes property changes hands through a conveyance the court confirms along the way, whether from a sale under §§ 873.750 and 873.790 or from a partition-by-appraisal transfer confirmed under § 873.960. This section makes sure those conveyances carry the same weight a judgment would.

That equivalence matters because § 874.210 spells out just how binding and conclusive a partition judgment is on parties, certain future-interest holders, and even some nonparties. Section 874.240 extends that same conclusiveness to the conveyance itself, so title passed this way is just as settled as title passed by judgment.
