This conference explores how wealth and property is lost in low-income and minority communities through a lack of estate planning. When property owners die intestate or without valid wills, their real property is more likely to be subject to foreclosure, lost through tax deed sale, or descend into the legal limbo of heirs’ property status. The first panel includes experts on heirs’ property who will analyze the complex legal issues that arise when real property is not quickly probated. The second panel consists of local community leaders who are envisioning the connections between development, gentrification, and the racial wealth gap and seeking solutions to wealth and property loss in our community. This event is also being livestreamed on Zoom. Please contact ruthm@law.ufl.edu for more information.
