  1. EPISODE 1

    The Heirs' Property Project

    For many minority and low-income families, the land that has been in their families for generations is a part of their identity. So what happens when that land is taken away because it's considered "heirs' property," a complex form of joint ownership? In this episode, we explore the intricacies and inequities around heirs' property, and how students involved in Wake Forest Law's Heirs' Property Project work to get justice for these North Carolinian families.

    Death in the US can be one of the most complex aspects of modern life, and caring for the dead takes many forms that are regulated by some of the most complicated laws on the books. In this episode, we explore the history, nuances, and quirks of funeral and cemetery law in the US and talk to students and professors at Wake Forest Law who helped legalize human composting as a new method of disposition.
