Today on “Splitting Heirs,” host Warren Racusin speaks with Molefi McIntosh and Mavis Gragg about the “heirs’ property problem--” or what happens to real estate when it is passed down within families without benefit of a will. The guests address the historical and legal impact as well as the economic and racial inequities that resulted from the fractionalization of real estate down through multiple generations, as well as recent efforts to right the injustices of the past through such legislation as the Uniform Partition of Heirs’ Property Act, and new technology that leverages data to clear title.

Speakers:

Warren K. Racusin, Partner and Chair, Trusts & Estates

Molefi McIntosh, Associate, Private Client Services

Mavis Gragg, Co-Founder, HeirShares
