The Center for Heirs' Property Preservation provides legal and forestry education and services to protect heirs' property and to provide the sustainable use of land to provide increased economic benefit to historically underserved landowners. In South Carolina, heirs' property is land owned primarily by African Americans who have passed down their land through generations without a will. That land is then owned "in common" by all of the heirs and is vulnerable to loss. The Center is the only non profit in S.C. providing free, comprehensive education and legal services to help HP owners to protect and keep their land. Currently the Center serves 22 S.C. counties: Allendale, Bamberg, Beaufort, Berkeley, Calhoun, Charleston, Clarendon, Colleton, Darlington, Dillon, Dorchester, Florence, Georgetown, Hampton, Horry, Jasper, Lee, Marion, Marlboro, Orangeburg, Sumter and Williamsburg.
