Appalachian Heirs' Property Center

Getting the Homeplace in Order: Heirs' Property Toolkit KY

This toolkit is designed to be a helpful, understandable, and relevant resource for anybody who owns — or will own — shared family land (heirs' property) in any of the Commonwealth of Kentucky’s 120 counties. Our goal is to provide readers with introductory information about a broad range of topics related to heirs’ property. The content was written to feel relevant to Kentucky residents and their out-of-state kin, with topics chosen to address their concerns and needs while reflecting the cultural, economic, legal, and environmental dynamics of the Commonwealth.
