The Georgia Heirs Property Law Center is proud to announce that our Executive Director Skipper StipeMaas was named an Equal Justice Works’ 40x40 Alumni Changemaker! 🎉

Since Skipper's Fellowship in 1999, she founded the Georgia Heirs Property Law Center (the "Center") and built it into a statewide organization that protects families from losing their homes and farms through heirs property complications. When the Center began, its first hires included Equal Justice Works Fellows, including Gentry Mander, who continues to work for the Center today. Skipper is honored to celebrate alongside this remarkable group of Alumni and the Equal Justice Works community.

Generational wealth secured! ✅ When heirs property owners clear their title, it's essential to get a carefully written estate plan to prevent heirs property from happening again in the future.

Senior Staff Attorney Wanda Ferreira and Intake Specialist Lauren Justice recently conducted an estate planning Signing Day for a client in Seminole County. The Center had successfully cleared the client's title so she could receive home repairs and prepared an estate plan to "close the loop" on heirs property.
