Formerly known as the Uniform Partition of Heirs Property Act

The Partition of Real Property Act in California is a newly-implemented law that expands upon the Uniform Partition of Heirs Property Act to give non-partitioning parties additional opportunities to buy out their co-owners. Essentially, the Partition of Real Property Act creates a right of first refusal by forcing a partition by appraisal. The Act seeks to “expand the scope of the Uniform Partition of Heirs Property Act to apply to any real property held in tenancy in common where there is no agreement in a record binding all the cotenants which governs the partition of the property.” ^[1]CA LEGIS 82 (2022), 2022 Cal. Legis. Serv. Ch. 82 (A.B. 2245) This allows co-owners even more ways to buy out their co-owners and move on from the co-ownership.
