The NPRC is in Montgomery, Alabama, for “Understanding Heirs’ Property at the Community Level,” a two-day Train-the-Trainer workshop on October 28–29. It’s hosted with the Southern Rural Development Center (SRDC) and the Southern Risk Management Education Center (SRMEC).
The National Policy Research Center is proud to partner with the Southern Rural Development Center (SRDC) and the Southern Risk Management Education Center (SRMEC) on “Understanding Heirs’ Property at the Community Level.” This Train-the-Trainer workshop runs October 28–29 in Montgomery, Alabama. Heirs’ property is land passed down informally across generations, usually when the owner died without a will, and it remains one of the leading causes of land loss. The workshop prepares Land-Grant professionals to go back to their home states and train families and communities to prevent and resolve heirs’ property issues. Interim Executive Director Thad Fairley and Communications Specialist Tonya Gray-Jenkins are on site representing the Policy Center alongside NPRC’s Research Analyst, Kara Woods who is presenting during the workshop, sharing knowledge that participants will take home to the farmers, ranchers and families they serve.
