Is zakat obligatory on two plots of land, one of which is shared and the other private, with no specific intention for either of them? If it is obligatory, is it sufficient for one person to pay the zakat, or is it incumbent upon all partners to participate? What is the amount of zakat due, knowing that the value of the first plot is 105,000 Saudi Riyals and the second is 120,000 Saudi Riyals, and that the land is outside the Kingdom?

There is no zakat on land unless it is acquired through an exchange (such as purchase) with the intention of trade at the time of acquisition. In that case, its value is assessed every year, and its zakat (a quarter of a tenth) is paid if each partner's share reaches the zakat threshold (nisab). However, if the land is acquired through inheritance or without the intention of trade, there is no zakat on it.
