(a) This part does not limit or affect the method by which service of a petition in a partition action may be made.

(b) If the plaintiff in a partition action seeks notice by publication and the court determines that the property may be heirs property, then the plaintiff, no later than ten (10) days after the court's determination, shall post and maintain while the action is pending a conspicuous sign on the property that is the subject of the action. The sign must state that the action has commenced and identify the name and address of the court, the case number, and the common designation by which the property is known. The court may require the plaintiff to publish on the sign the name of the plaintiff and the known defendants.
