Article 826 of the French Civil Code

Equality in partition is equality in value.

Each co-divider receives property for a value equal to that of his rights in the undivided property.

If lots are drawn, as many lots as are necessary are formed.

If the consistency of the mass does not allow lots of equal value to be formed, their inequality is compensated for by a balance.

Original in French 🇫🇷
Article 826

L’égalité dans le partage est une égalité en valeur.

Chaque copartageant reçoit des biens pour une valeur égale à celle de ses droits dans l’indivision.

S’il y a lieu à tirage au sort, il est constitué autant de lots qu’il est nécessaire.

Si la consistance de la masse ne permet pas de former des lots d’égale valeur, leur inégalité se compense par une soulte.
