Strengthening Communities Through Heirs’ Property Solutions: Sarringhaus & Scott Co., LPA Partners with LISC Cleveland
We are proud to partner with LISC Cleveland as part of the Heirs’ Property Program alongside The Legal Aid Society of Cleveland and Wright Legal Solutions, LLC to protect families, preserve homes, and create long-term stability for future generations.
What Is Heirs’ Property?
“Heirs’ property” typically occurs when a homeowner passes away without a clear estate plan or completed probate process, leaving property ownership shared among multiple family members. Over time, this can create legal and financial complications that make it difficult to:
Sell or refinance property
Obtain homeowner’s insurance
Access repair or improvement funding
Transfer ownership properly
Preserve generational wealth
Unfortunately, many families are unaware of these issues until they are faced with housing code violations, tax foreclosure risks, title problems, or disputes among heirs.
Why This Work Matters
For many families in our community, a home is more than real estate — it represents sacrifice, legacy, and opportunity. Protecting ownership rights and ensuring clear title can help families maintain stability and pass wealth to future generations.
Through this partnership, Sarringhaus & Scott Co., LPA is honored to assist residents with:
Estate planning services
Probate and estate administration
Heirs’ property resolution
Title and ownership issues
Legal guidance designed to preserve family assets and housing stability
Knowledge was always meant to be shared, and we are grateful for the opportunity to help empower families with information and legal tools that can make a lasting impact.
Community Partnerships Create Change
Programs like the LISC Cleveland Heirs’ Property Program demonstrate what is possible when legal professionals, community organizations, and advocacy groups work together toward a common goal.
We are thankful to collaborate with organizations that are committed to strengthening neighborhoods, increasing housing stability, and helping families preserve intergenerational wealth throughout Northeast Ohio.
