The Biggest Problem You've Never Heard Of - Examining Heirs Property and Black Property Loss

[@cienergi]

This was so informative. My family has a large acreage in Kentucky and I’m willing to work with my family to do something about it. Also, my mom and I are getting our paperwork together after hearing about other families going through this. Thank you!

I am a property assessor in Kentucky and this is a huge problem in my county. I wish there was someone I could contact for resources.

I'm happy Harvard is on it but people like me are still out here suffering in crooked courts south of maryland.... We need help with this heir property web!! We lost it all and I am not responsible for trying to save our last 15 acres from this horrible heir loop. We need clear title.

OMG, this is just the presentation I was looking forward to for my family.

[@deloresbryant4571]

Exactly!

Just watched "Silver Dollar Road" and I was shocked to learn this type of land loss was happening in the current Era. This talk has been very informative. I found the land trust model very interesting to think about.

Thank you very very much.

My granddad got 9,000 acrec of Land we just find out about it we did not know that he had that Land we trying to find out more about it .

[@jarvisaddison8560]

That is the real issue with heirs property. People keep quiet about what they have in terms of land for fear of future generations getting a leg up they never had.

We have to tie our people into this information. Alabama is hurting right because of storms that destroyed heir property.

[@cmeshia]

I need to be in contact with someone. My family is in the middle of our land trying to get taken.

The other variable is as Elders need services. Private companies under the ability to provide "Medicare" services promise them the world and no hassle assistance. Only to find out they are signing their homes /estates away upon their passing. It doesn't matter if there is a will. Many probate courts make you contact a private debt company hired by Medicare, before they will process the wills. It leaves surviving family's struggling even more.

Y'all should get @dynastyhealing on the panel. The answer is in the school library.

Why isn’t it set up like stocks in a corporation?

LAND GRABBING, A GLOBAL PROBLEM SINCE TIME BEGAN, THAT IS NOT A UNKNOWN PROBLEM FOR THE PROPERTY OWNERS BUT THE DISENFRANCHISED🤦🏻

[@darleneroberson8146]

When you say “heir property”- is it, siblings inheritance of parents property after death. Also, what kind of help are you saying? Please concur

[@deltaXna]

I'm not a lawyer but I understand it as next of kin. So if parent has spouse goes to spouse. If not goes to children if no children goes to owners siblings if no spouse, children, siblings, then probate. Again I'm no lawyer but that's how it works with investments.

[@Sonofjake]

@@deltaXna a stranger can buy. From one of the heirs and take you to court and force you to take a lowball number in NC a man got 24acres for 1800 bucks....becuase the other heirs didn't show up for their own property it is robbery......

[@janelfields2284]

The registration of the property in the county’s tax records actually reads like this example “Baker, John Heirs” So getting a clean title is hella hard.

We’re not all African American. 98% of us are indigenous Aboriginal Niiji. My ancestors are buried on this land mean we were first from the beginning before any others arrived on this continent. none of my family members or ancestors are buried in Africa!!!.

[@charlenerobinson6670]

We have be conveniently misclassified as "African" Americans so we'll look elsewhere for what belongs rightfully in families of oppressed indigenous peoples of the Americas. My family history does not have anyone from Africa in it; but, yet the powers that be choose to tell me/us, who WE ARE! Try switching that around and see how it feels!!!

[@cienergi]

Yes, you’re correct!

[@jarvisaddison8560]

Yeah wrong forum for that.
