The Heirship Project

What is The Heirship Project?

The Heirship Project is a project aimed at educating and assisting residents who need help obtaining a clear property title. 

What is Heir Property?

Heir property comes about when necessary legal work isn’t done after a property owner dies. Heirs who have a verbal agreement to live on the property, but no legal title could face many obstacles, including selling the property, making repairs on the property, or qualifying for government aid to fix damages to the home.
