A more thorough explanation:

IN AEQUALI MANU

In equal hand. This phrase refers to property held indifferently between two parties, as when the parties to an instrument deposit it in the hands of a neutral third person.

It means that two parties have equal control over something, and it is being held by a third party who is neutral and not taking sides.

1. Two friends deposit their money with a trusted third person to hold it until they decide how to divide it.

2. A couple going through a divorce put their shared property in the hands of a lawyer until they can agree on how to divide it.
