The Government has submitted a legislative proposal to parliament allowing a single heir, a spouse married under community of property, or an executor to initiate the judicial sale of real estate from undivided inheritances. This measure aims to address properties that have remained undivided for over two years due to a lack of agreement among heirs, as part of a broader legislative package to increase housing supply. The process includes judicial oversight, expert property valuations, and electronic auctions to ensure transparency, while granting heirs the right of redemption to keep the property within the family. Additionally, the proposal introduces reforms to the Civil Code, including the role of an executor with powers of partition and new rules for the administration of inheritances to reduce litigation and facilitate the distribution of assets.
