§ 11-21-13. Partition without masters; owelty.
 

If, at the hearing, it appear that the intervention of masters is unnecessary to secure an equal partition in kind, or that the same can be effected by providing owelty, and that it would best promote the interest of the parties, the court may order the partition and fix the amount to be paid by one (1) or several cotenants to another or others; or this may be done on hearing the report of the master.
