The term Fractional Ownership is used widely and loosely. With many opinions and interpretations of the term our goal is to provide you with an unbiased, informative view. Broadly defined, fractional ownership is a division of an asset into an interest, portion or share. Note that these assets are typically held by deed, title, or entity. However, deeds and titles may be recorded with restrictions thus incurring limitations. Restrictions are considered as rules for which all owners must adhere. Deeds and titles are not the only entities with restrictions. Limited liability companies (LLC) might also have restrictions in the form of an operating agreement. Fractional ownerships vary by asset and also within asset classes. Principal fractional ownership property assets include real estate, aviation, and marine.
