Spousal liability for partition agent fees is limited to each spouse's proportional share of the estate.

The court held that spouses are personally liable for the partition agent's fees only to the extent of their respective shares in the estate. While the plaintiff argued for joint liability, the court rejected this based on the principle that each spouse bears responsibility solely for their portion of the assets. Consequently, the claim for full joint liability was dismissed, establishing that fees must be apportioned according to individual estate shares.
