The National Center on Law & Elder Rights (NCLER) is hosting an upcoming training titled “Heirs Property: Legal Strategies to Keep Older Adults in the Family Home.” Many low-income older adults reside in a home they inherited when a family member died. When a property is owned by multiple heirs, or any heir who has not yet filed legal documents to have their name reflected as the record owner, this is referred to as heirs property. Heirs property issues disproportionately impact older adults, as well as communities of color, and create significant challenges to stable housing. This training will discuss how heirs property arises, describe the scope of the problem, and walk through legal strategies to help clients untangle or resolve heirs property, to prevent it from occurring, and above all, to prevent the loss of a family home.
