Dominion Energy Senior Counsel Karla Carter joins Infrastructure Junkies to discuss the complicated history of heirs property issues. What exactly is "heirs property"? What are the effects--both intended and unintended--on certain segments of the American population? What are our obligations to heirs property in the right of way context? When condemning agencies encounter parcels of property which were inherited by its currents owners--often passing intestate and without the benefit of a will--the easiest option is sometimes to simply proceed to condemnation. Karla Carter explains why this has become an issue of social and environmental justice and how the abuse of partition suits has been utilized to deprive certain segments of the population of their land. In fact, heirs property is the leading involuntary loss of African American property in the United States. Listen in and you will understand why heirs property is so much more than a land title issue.
