Riviera Beach, FL - Families across Palm Beach County face significant challenges due to heirs' property issues, a legal hurdle that often results in clouded titles. These complications can prevent families from accessing vital financial tools such as loans, grants, and property tax exemptions, jeopardizing their ability to preserve generational wealth and maintain community stability.
In response, Community Partners of South Florida, in collaboration with the Legal Aid Society of Palm Beach County, Inc. and sponsored by JPMorgan Chase, is hosting two sessions dedicated to empowering residents to protect their properties and secure their legacies:

“Our goal is to provide residents with the tools they need to protect their most valuable investment—their homes,” said Lynda Charles, Vice-President of Housing for Community Partners of South Florida. “This is life planning, and everyone who owns a house should attend to learn how to preserve their assets.”
“With the recent surge in property values and demand for land in Palm Beach County, heirs' property work is more important than ever,” said Hanley. “Many families, some who have lived in their homes for generations, can’t access crucial benefits like homestead property tax exemptions without clear title ownership. Our mission is about justice, protecting generational wealth, and strengthening communities.”
The issue disproportionately affects African-American households, particularly in low-income communities across the southeastern United States, according to the National Conference of Commissioners on Uniform State Laws.
Residents who qualify are encouraged to participate in this transformative program.
