Heirs’ Property Law Update

This webinar explores the complex legal and interpersonal challenges involved in heirs’ property cases, with a focus on quiet title actions. Attendees will gain insight into navigating the tangled webs of ownership, family dynamics, and genealogy. It will also offer practical strategies for managing client expectations, improving communication with multiple heirs, and addressing the emotional and logistical hurdles that often arise in these sensitive cases. Ideal for attorneys, legal aid professionals, and advocates working in property and estate law.
