Heirs Property: Standing on a LOT of Love

Family land ownership has always been a significant source of intergenerational wealth across the country. For land trusts, protecting family owned land in their service areas has many conservation and related benefits. Still, family property owned as heirs property, i.e. with multiple owners, outwardly presents obstacles for conservation. Through this session, participants will gain an understanding of heirs property and the values around this ownership model. This engaging workshop will provide a cultural and historical context of why families own property as heirs property, demystify the legal structure of heirs property ownership, explore ways land trusts can engage with heirs property owners to protect natural resources on their land through best practices in conservation.
