ABA releases book about heirs' property

A new book from the American Bar Association, “Heirs’ Property and the Uniform Partition of Heirs Property Act: Challenges, Solutions, and Historic Reform,” provides a comprehensive, yet easily understandable overview of a widespread and problematic form of property ownership in the United States known as heirs’ property, that typically arises due to a lack of estate planning.

There has been growing awareness about various heirs’ property problems, including massive, decades-long, involuntary land loss. This book will increase that awareness among lawyers, the public and policymakers. Just as important, the book offers practical solutions for those seeking to address a variety of heirs’ property problems.

“Heirs’ Property and the Uniform Partition of Heirs Property Act: Challenges, Solutions, and Historic Reform” is available as a paperback and eBook for $79.95. To order, visit www.shopaba.org.
