Center for Heirs'​ Property Preservation’s Post

After the Emancipation, Black Landowners acquired land and "passed" down the rights to the land to their heir as a means to building generational wealth. Essentially, this was not done through a formal judicial process and, today, we identify this as Heirs' Property (HP). HP is not only the leading cause of Black land loss but is also for other low-wealth groups such as Appalachian landowners. Come with us down memory lane and listen to some historical #lowcountry community members who've experienced the struggle with having Heirs' Property. https://lnkd.in/ecnHju_J #heirsproperty #landjustice
