A Chat about Heirs Property and Clouded Titles

Heirs Property

In Florida, heirs property is extremely common. This is property that is passed down to family members through inheritance without a will or court document. It’s property owned “in common” by all the descendants of legal heirs. That makes it tricky to manage the land or sell it.
