When a family loses a loved one, grief often comes with another burden, such as uncertainty over property and possessions. In rural areas, land passed down through generations without a formal will or deed can lead to complicated ownership disputes, fractured family relationships, and even loss of generational wealth.
These issues don’t just affect families, they shape communities. Unresolved heirs’ property can stall development, complicate planning decisions, and hinder economic growth.
In this session, you’ll learn the rights of heirs, explore tools and resources to resolve these challenges, and understand how planners can play a critical role in guiding families through this process. Take what you learn back to your community to help preserve family wealth, reduce conflict, and strengthen the foundation for sustainable development. Be the resource that turns uncertainty into stability and opportunity.
