Heirs property—land passed down informally from one generation to the next without the benefit of a will that divides heirs’ interests—is socioeconomically and historically embedded with far-reaching implications. Irma Johnson and John Green will break down the economic and cultural issues related to these “tangled titles” and the resources that Extension agents and others have to assist with this issue at the community level.
