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

Summary

The act sets rules for how Rhode Island courts handle real estate owned by multiple relatives without a prior agreement. It requires a court‑ordered fair‑market valuation and gives other co‑owners a chance to buy out the interest of a co‑owner who wants a sale, then directs the court to either divide the land into separate parcels or sell it. The purpose is to protect families from forced sales and ensure consistent handling of heirs' property.
