The Uniform Partition of Heirs Property Act preserves the right of a tenant in common to sell their interest in inherited real estate while ensuring that the other tenants in common will have the necessary due process to prevent a forced sale . Due process includes notice, appraisal and right of first refusal.
So, that's just in terms of what heirs property is. There is a substantial amount of heirs property in the United States among families of every race and ethnicity, although disproportionally African Americans tend to own more heirs property than others as a result of low rates of will making.
The purpose of the Act is to preserve a family's wealth, including the value of Mom's house, for the next generation and to provide due process protection for the heirs of a decedent from a potential forced partition action and resulting below market sale.
The actual time it takes from when a partition case is filed to when the land is partitioned physically, by sale, or by set-off varies from case to case. In general, partition cases can take several months or even years to resolve.
The duration of a partition action can vary significantly based on the complexity of the case, the willingness of the co-owners to reach a settlement, and the court's schedule. Generally, the process can take several months to over a year.
A petition to partition is a legal action that can be taken by co-owners of property who cannot agree on how to use or manage the property. The petition asks the court to divide the property into separate shares or to sell the entire property and distribute the proceeds among the co-owners.
Generally, courts divide the costs of partition among the parties in proportion to their ownership interests or in a different manner when necessary to ensure equitable distributions.
To initiate a partition action, the petitioner must file a complaint with the appropriate court that describes the property involved. The complaint must also include the ownership shares and interests of all co-owners as well as any other property co-owned by the parties. NY Real Prop Actions L § 905.
