About this Event

ABOUT THE TRAINING

Heirs ' property is a significant cause of land loss. To address this concern, a team of leading educators in the field have designed a three-part training to help community members take action to protect their lands. The three sections walk participants through an overview of heirs’ property, strategies for preventing heirs’ property, and key considerations in resolving heirs’ property. The National Policy Research Center at Alcorn State University, the Southern Risk Management Education Center (SRMEC), and Southern Rural Development Center (SRDC) hosted at Mississippi State University are anchor partners in the effort through funding from USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA), Farm Service Agency, and National Resource Conservation Service.
