LSLA staff will participate in a virtual panel discussion with advocates from UT Law and St. Mary’s School of Law, sponsored by the Poverty Law Section of the State Bar of Texas, focused on how advocates can better serve Texans who inherit their homes.
Build out your toolkit for helping heirs’ property homeowners preserve their homes. From predatory investors to property tax foreclosures, this interactive session will explore the challenges low-income homeowners face when they inherit their homes — and key lawyering strategies to tackle these challenges. We will also navigate the ethical considerations presented by heirs’ property cases.
Also known as heirs property owners, these homeowners have inherited real estate that is jointly owned by the heirs of a deceased owner. Ownership has passed through intestacy (Texas law) or the terms of an individual’s will, but many heirs lack the necessary legal documentation to prove their ownership. This session will provide valuable insights for attorneys and advocates working to protect generational wealth and homeownership stability across Texas.
This presentation is made available to members of the Poverty Law Section through its First Friday CLE series. Pre-registration for this event is required.
