Real estate indivision: the 2026 law to unblock sales
Are you several heirs and unable to agree to sell?
A fixed property, family tensions, a situation that has been bogged down for months... or even years?
Good news: the 2026 law now makes it easier to exit joint ownership.
⚠️ Joint ownership: a major obstacle in the real estate market
- An heir can block the sale
- The property may remain vacant for years
- The value of assets is decreasing
- Family tensions are building up
These situations are frequent and represent a real brake on the real estate market.

Its main objectives:
- Preventing a single heir from blocking the sale
