Bill overview
This bill, the HEIRS Act of 2025, aims to help states address the issue of ‘heirs’ property – residential properties that pass through families by inheritance rather than a formal will – by providing grants to states that have adopted a specific law designed to resolve these situations. The act will offer funding for assistance to homeowners facing challenges with heirs’ property, including legal and financial support for title clearing and estate planning, and will also support housing counseling and legal assistance specifically related to heirs’ property.
