Effect if will provides for indivision of property among heirs; contrary to public policy

No, it is contrary to law and public policy. When a will provides for indivision of a property, it is subject to statutory limitation as the law provides that the prohibition to divide a property in a co-ownership can only last for twenty (20) years. (Arts. 494, 870 and 1083). While the Civil Code is silent as to the effect of the indivision of a property for more than 20 years, it would be contrary to public policy to sanction co-ownership beyond the period expressly mandated by the Civil Code. (G.R. No. 179859).
