A person who owns something jointly with one or more other people.
From Latin 'co-' meaning together and 'proprietor' meaning owner. The prefix 'co-' indicates shared ownership rather than sole ownership.
Coproprietors are common in real estate and businesses, but the legal complexities of shared ownership—like what happens if one owner wants to sell—create some of the thorniest disputes in property law.
