Why Heirs Property is a Problem
How is heirs property created?
Heirs property is created when the original owner of the home or land dies without a will or dies with a will leaving the property to multiple beneficiaries. The number of owners increases as additional owners die.
Heirs property is an obstacle to economic development and community stability throughout Georgia and is the number one cause of blight in low-income underserved communities.
Outreach and education are key components to remediating, preventing and ending heirs property.
