Section 184

SEC. 184. The order of partition. — If, upon trial, the court finds that the plaintiff has a legal right to any part of such estate, it shall order partition thereof in favor of the plaintiff, among all parties in interest. Thereupon the parties may, if they are able to agree, make partition among themselves, by proper instruments of conveyance and the court shall confirm the partition so agreed upon by all the parties, and the amicable partition so made, together with the order of the court confirming the same, shall be recorded in the registry of deeds for the province where the land is situated, and shall be valid and binding between the parties thereto. But if the parties are unable to agree upon a partition, the court shall appoint three judicious and disinterested landowners of the province in which the land to be divided, or some portion of the same, is situated, to be commissioners to make the partition, and shall order a writ of partition to issue to the commissioners commanding them to make partition of the estate and to set off to the plaintiff and to each party in interest such part and proportion of the estate as the court shall order.
