Allows tenants in common to seek exclusive ownership of inherited property.
SB3398 amends the Code of Civil Procedure to allow tenants in common who inherited property through intestate succession to seek exclusive ownership. To qualify, the tenants must have held exclusive possession, paid all taxes, and contributed to the property's care or maintenance for seven consecutive years. They must also file a declaration with the recorder of deeds at least two years before initiating the action, notify other owners, and publish a notice in a local newspaper. If no objections are filed within the two-year period, the court may grant exclusive ownership.
