Nonprofits, Local Governments and Municipalities:
Becomes a Client
Heirs property not only limits a family’s ability to build wealth – it also thwarts the efforts of local governments, municipalities, and nonprofits to revitalize neighborhoods, rebound after natural disasters, preserve green space, and unlock the tax base for economic development. Whether you’re focusing on one neighborhood or community-wide, contact info@gaheirsproperty.org for more information on:
Educational Workshops- for Elected Officials, Community Leaders, and/or Residents.
Title Abstracts- for an entire block or for individual applicants to your home repair or farm/timber program, the Center can determine the “condition of the title” and potential steps to resolve heirs property issues.
Title Clearing- for each heirs property, the Center can help determine who has an ownership interest in the property and work to clean up the titles through negotiated agreements, probate, quiet title actions, Trust/LLC setup, and other legal services.
Estate Planning- for individuals in your program or community, the Center provides proper estate planning including a will, advanced health care directive, financial power of attorney. Proper estate planning prevents creation of heirs property; preserves the public and private subsidies invested in a home or land; prevents blight; and fosters the generational transfer of wealth.
Clarifying property ownership for residents is a critical component of every community’s land retention, affordable housing, economic development, and community revitalization efforts. Title Assessments can be procured one-at-a-time or in batches. After the Center has assessed the condition of a title, a cost-estimate can be created for Title Remediation for each property. Individual estate planning services are priced based on the amount of time required to complete the process for each client. The Center partners with nonprofits and municipalities through contracts-for-services and collaborative grants to cover these expenses. Please contact the Center to discuss partnership opportunities.
