PRINCESS ANNE — The University of Maryland Eastern Shore is offering an heirs’ property workshop Thursday, March 28 for Marylanders with family-owned property inherited through generations without legal documentation.

“These heirs may encounter difficulties such as not being able to sell the property, use it as collateral for financing, qualify for USDA benefits for farming or be at a greater risk of losing it,” said Nicole Cook, an environmental and agricultural faculty legal specialist with the Agriculture Law Education Initiative at UMES.

The workshop is sponsored by UMES Extension and will be held from 7:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. in the Richard A. Henson Center ballroom on the main campus in Princess Anne. Registration ($10 per person) is required and includes breakfast and lunch.

Visit www.umes.edu/extension/events to register by March 22, or for more information email nlcook@umes.edu. No walk-in registration will be accepted.

A limited-number of scholarships are available to attendees on a first-come basis. Those interested in applying for a scholarship, should contact Dr. Lila B. Karki at lkarki@umes.edu for more information.
