Heirs’ property is real estate that official government records indicate is owned by someone who is deceased, and maybe has been for multiple generations. When a person dies, their home, land, or other real estate is treated differently than their personal effects and financial assets. If new ownership of a deceased person’s property isn’t determined through a will or court proceeding, and the deceased person didn’t use alternative estate planning that doesn’t require a probate proceeding, that property becomes heirs’ property.
