Summary

The law creates a legal path for people who inherit a share of property as tenants in common to become the sole owners if they have lived on the land for seven years, paid all taxes, and no other co‑owner has contributed or contested. They must give written notice, publish their intent, and allow any other owners to object before a court can grant title. This provides a clear, orderly way to settle inherited co‑ownership disputes.
