Partitions: Heirs Property
If you and your siblings are seeking partition under UPHPA, the first step for the court is to determine whether the property is “heirs property.” The UPHPA lists a more detailed definition, but “heirs property” basically means property owned by relatives as cotenants. So, in our example, your mother’s home will be considered “heirs property” because you and your siblings are relatives and own the home together as cotenants.
