A quick definition of coparticeps:

Term: COPARTICEPS

Definition: Coparticeps is another word for coparcener, which means a person who inherits an estate jointly with others and holds it as a single estate. This means that they share the title, interest, and possession of the property. However, unlike joint tenants, coparceners do not have the right of survivorship. If one coparcener dies, their share of the property passes to their heirs or devisee, not to the surviving coparceners. Coparceners are like a single heir and occupy a position between joint tenants and tenants in common.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Coparticeps (koh-pahr-tə-seps) is a legal term that refers to a person who inherits an estate jointly with others and holds it as an entire estate. It is also known as coparcener, which is an archaic term.

Example: If a man dies and leaves his estate to his two daughters, they become copartencers. They both have equal rights to the entire estate and are considered a single heir. If one of the daughters dies, her share of the estate will pass to her heirs or devisee, not to the surviving daughter.

Explanation: The example illustrates how copartencers share an estate jointly and hold it as a single heir. They have unity of title, interest, and possession, but their estate is not subject to the doctrine of survivorship. If one of the copartencers dies, their share of the estate passes separately to their heirs or devisee, not to the surviving copartencer. This is different from joint tenants, who have the right of survivorship, and tenants in common, who hold their shares separately.
