Free Legal Assistance for Georgians Facing Heirs Property and Estate Issues

 
 

Team Agriculture Georgia has partnered with the Georgia Heirs Property Law Center (the “Center”) to provide legal services for farmers, ranchers, and timberland owners in the state in need of heirs property resolution, estate plans, and establishing clear property titles.

If you are interested in taking advantage of this assistance, please fill out the form below. You can also find out more information directly through the Center’s website or email at ag@gaheirsproperty.org.

 
 
 
 

“Heirs property is the hidden story behind blight, farm loss, natural disaster devastation, and generational poverty in Georgia. The term ‘heirs property’ refers to a home or land that passes through multiple generations without a legally designated owner, resulting in ownership divided among numerous individuals or entities as tenants in common.”

— Georgia Heirs Property Law Center, Inc.
