Abstract Number: 070012

April 2007

Legal Services of Greater Miami, Inc. (LSGMI) received a grant from the American Bar Association Partnership in Law and Aging Program to start a Land Loss Prevention Project in partnership with the South Miami-Kendall Bar Association.  The Project addresses the problem of low income African Americans losing title to their real property due to intestate succession when people die without wills.  All services are free, and are provided by LSGMI staff and by volunteer attorneys recruited by the South Miami-Kendall Bar Association. 

The Land Loss Prevention Project educates low income individuals about the need for estate planning to preserve their property for their intended beneficiaries.  The Project also drafts wills and related estate planning documents.  The target population is residents in the more isolated and rural sections of southern Miami-Dade County.
