Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Marshall County, Jennifer Miller, Judge. AFFIRMED. Heard at oral argument by Tabor, C.J., and Ahlers and Langholz, JJ. Opinion by Ahlers, J. (7 pages)
Thomas and Cindy Degner appeal the district court’s decree partitioning heirs property. They argue that the district court’s partition of one of the nine tracts of land at issue was inequitable. They also argue that they should receive a ten percent discount on the value of two other tracts of land because they continue to own undivided shares of those tracts with Thomas’s cousin. OPINION HOLDS: The district court’s partition of the tracts of land is equitable, and no discount is necessary. As a result, we affirm the district court.
