14-3911. Partition for purpose of
distribution
When two or more heirs or devisees are entitled to distribution of undivided
interests in any real or personal property of the estate, the personal representative or
one or more of the heirs or devisees may petition the court prior to the formal or
informal closing of the estate, to make partition. After notice to the interested heirs
or devisees, the court shall partition the property in the same manner as provided by the
law for civil actions of partition. The court may direct the personal representative to
sell any property which cannot be partitioned without prejudice to the owners and which
cannot conveniently be allotted to any one party.
