Sponsored by USDA Risk Management Agency and the Georgia Forestry Commission, this free virtual workshop will offer a comprehensive introduction to heirs property and options to resolve and prevent heirs property, including estate planning.
The event will take place from 10 am-11 am on June 16, 2022 on Zoom. Representatives from Team Agriculture Georgia, Georgia Forestry Commission, and the Georgia Heirs Property Law Center will present.
ABOUT HEIRS PROPERTY
Heirs property is family land that is jointly owned by descendants of a deceased person whose estate did not clear probate. The descendants, or heirs, have the right to use the property, but they do not have a clear or marketable title to the property since the estate issues remain unresolved.
Land is passed down without a will or deed to prove ownership. Each successive generation generally results in more heirs being added to the land inheritance. The absence of the deed or will becomes more complicated and grows by generation as time and people pass.
Without proof of ownership, it may become difficult for heirs to obtain federal benefits for farms and could also force partition sales by third parties.
