Following Hurricane Katrina in 2005, a critical need for legal assistance arose in Mississippi. The Mississippi Center for Justice stepped up to address this, establishing the Heirs’ Property campaign. This initiative aims to assist individuals in navigating the complexities of property ownership, particularly when land is held in the name of a deceased relative.
What is Heirs’ Property?
Heirs’ property refers to land that hasn’t gone through the formal legal process of transferring ownership after the death of the ancestor. This can create significant challenges for families who want to use, develop, or even sell their land. Without a clear title, they may be unable to access loans, receive government assistance, or resolve disputes.
How the Mississippi Center for Justice Helps
The Mississippi Center for Justice offers vital support to families facing these challenges. As a non-profit public interest law firm, they offer free legal services to qualified low-income landowners, Black farmers, and families. Their services include:
- Direct legal assistance in clearing titles.
- Drafting wills and other estate planning documents.
- Free initial consultations.
