NRS 39.480 Cost of partition is lien upon several shares. The costs of partition, fees of the master and
other disbursements and also, in the discretion of the court, reasonable
counsel fees expended by the parties for the common benefit, must be paid by
the parties respectively entitled to share in the lands divided, in proportion
to their respective interests therein, and may be included and specified in the
judgment. If the costs and fees are included in the judgment, there is a lien
on the several shares, and the judgment may be enforced by execution against the
shares and against other property held by the respective parties. When
litigation arises between some of the parties only, the court may require the
expenses of the litigation to be paid by the parties to the litigation or any
of them.
