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,  which typically arises due to a lack of estate planning.

There has been growing awareness about various heirs’ property problems, including massive, decadeslong, 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.
