Summary

The bill broadens the State Tax Sale Ombudsman’s services to include heirs and representatives of deceased owners and establishes a Heirs Protection Program that lets heirs take title, stay in the home, and block tax‑sale actions. It also creates a Heirs Protection Fund and extends homeowner and homestead tax‑credit eligibility to qualifying heirs. The goal is to keep families in their homes after a death and reduce loss from tax sales.
