<p class="x_MsoNormal">Here is the Uniform Laws Commission statement of the purpose</p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal">The Uniform Partition of Heirs Property Act (UPHPA) helps preserve family wealth passed to the next generation in the form of real property.  If a landowner dies intestate, the real estate passes to the landowner’s heirs as tenants-in-common
 under state law.  Tenants-in-common  are  vulnerable  because  any  individual  tenant  can force a partition.  Too often, real estate speculators acquire a small share of heirs’ property in order to file a partition action and force a sale.  Using this tactic,
 an investor can acquire the entire parcel for a price well below its fair market value and deplete a family’s inherited wealth in the process.  UPHPA provides a series of simple due process protections: notice, appraisal, right of first refusal, and if the
 other co-tenants choose not to exercise their right and a sale is required, a commercially reasonable sale supervised by the court to ensure all parties receive their fair share of the proceeds</p>
