domestic partnership ends, either of the domestic partners may apply to a
court for the division of property.

application for the division of property may only be made if—
(a) the
applicant or respondent is resident in the State when the application is made;
and
(b) the
applicant and respondent were resident in the State for the whole or a
substantial part of the period of the relationship; and
(c) the
domestic partnership existed for at least 3 years or there is a child of the
domestic partners.
(3) An application for
the division of property must be made within one year after the end of the
domestic relationship unless the court, after considering the interests of
both domestic partners, is satisfied that extension of this period of
limitation is necessary to avoid serious injustice to the applicant.

the division of property may be made or continued by or against the legal
personal representative of a deceased domestic partner.
(5) However, an
application against the legal personal representative of a deceased
domestic partner may only relate to property that is undistributed at the date
