Uniform Partition of Heirs Property Act

The Uniform Partition of Heirs Property Act is a law designed to resolve disputes over property inherited by multiple heirs, often when there's no clear will. It aims to protect family members from forced sales and ensure fair division of the property. The Act provides guidelines for how to partition the property so that all heirs receive their fair share while promoting an equitable process. By establishing clear procedures, it helps prevent conflict and maintains family ownership, allowing heirs to keep the property rather than forcing them to sell it against their wishes.
