Plain-English Summary
Once a partition referee’s report survives review and the court confirms it, section 25-21,105 tells the court what to do next: enter judgment declaring the partition firm and effectual forever. That language is not filler. It marks the point where a proposed division of shared property turns into a final, binding result.
Confirmation is the hinge. Section 25-21,104 lets the court reject a flawed report and send it back for more work; this section describes the other outcome, where the report holds up and the court locks the partition into a judgment meant to last.
