When a ward is joint tenant or tenant in common with others, the ward's guardian may agree with the other joint tenants or tenants in common, to make partition of the lands so held. When that agreement is made in writing and filed with the Probate Division of the Superior Court, the Probate Division of the Superior Court may make the partition. A certified copy thereof shall be recorded in the office where by law a deed of those lands is required to be recorded, and the partition shall be binding on the ward, the ward's heirs and assigns and on the parties to the agreement.
