JOYCE LEWIS- COUNTY CLERK RUSK. COUNTY r TEXAS The Uniform Partition of Heirs Property Act (UPHPA) helps to solve the problem while preserving a co-tenant's right to sell his or her share of property. It is important to note that the act only applies to heir property- one or more co- tenants must have received his or her property interest from a relative - and only when there is no written agreement governing partition among the owners. If both of those conditions exist, the act requires certain protections when a co- tenant files for a partition order. The Defendant did not take the appropriate steps to be compliant with the law. 1. The co-tenant requesting the partition must give notice to all of the other co-tenants. 2. The court must order an independent appraisal to determine the property's value; the court must hold a hearing to consider evidence. 3. Any co-tenant (exceptthe co-tenant(s) requesting partition by sale may buy the interest of the co-tenant seeking partition for a proportional share of the court - determined fair market value. The co-tenants have 45 days to exercise their right of first refusal, and if exercised, another 60 days in which to arrange for financing. If more than one co-tenant elects to buy the shares of the co-tenant(s) seeking partition, the court will pro-rate the sellers shares among the buyers according to their existing fractional ownership percentages. 4. If no co-tenant elects to purchase shares from the co-tenant(s) seeking partition, the court must order a partition in-kind will result in great prejudice to the co-tenants as a group. UPHPA specifies the factors a court must consider when determining whether partition in-kind is appropriate. 5. If partition-in-kind is inappropriate and the court orders a partition-by-sale, the property must be offered for sale on the open market at a price no lower than the court determined valued for a reasonable period of time and in a commercially reasonable manner. Ifan open market sale by sealed bids or by action would be more economically advantages for the co- tenants as a group the court may order a sale by one of those methods.
