AN ACT RELATING TO PROPERTY -- UNIFORM PARTITION OF HEIRS' PROPERTY ACT

Summary

The bill adds a new chapter to Rhode Island’s property law that defines "heirs' property" and sets procedures for its partition. It requires courts to identify such property, determine its fair market value, and offer buy‑out options before ordering a sale or division. The goal is to protect co‑owners, especially relatives, from forced sales and ensure fair outcomes.
