1. Where any party to the proceeding has an existing or inchoate
right of dower or curtesy or where any party to the proceeding has a
tendancy by dower or curtesy or an estate for life or for years in the

or interest and if the court shall so determine there may be included in
the order a direction that such right or interest be included in the
disposition.

interests.
