Heir Property

When a property is passed down through generations without a clear will or proper legal documentation, it becomes heir property. This can lead to ownership disputes, difficulties in selling or improving the property, and legal challenges that require the help of an experienced real estate attorney.

You may need legal assistance with heir property if:

  • A family member passed away without a will, and multiple heirs now have claims to the property.

  • You want to sell, transfer, or develop the property but need legal clarification on ownership.

  • There is disagreement among heirs about what to do with the property.

  • A distant or unknown relative is claiming a share of the property, causing disputes.

  • The property is at risk of foreclosure or tax sale due to unresolved legal issues.

  • You need help establishing clear ownership to obtain loans, insurance, or legal protection.

Hutcheson Law Firm can assist by conducting a title search, helping heirs agree on a resolution, filing a partition action if necessary, and ensuring that the property is legally transferred and protected. With legal guidance, you can avoid disputes and secure rightful ownership for yourself and your family.
