Is tashbisu a din gavra or cheftzah? And if cheftzah, what's the
cheftzah -- the chameitz which must get removed or the reshus from
which is must get removed? If the nechasim are shared, does his chiyuv
separate from the other benei bayis?

Second, if it's on the cheftzah there is no concern about who the
mitzvah devolves, but who is in a position to be able to fulfill it.

Last, what about "zachin le'adam shelo befanav"? Doesn't that mean
that since there is an issur, the associated asei doesn't really just
devolve to one person?

Tir'u baTov!
