Wills Program

Helping write and prepare wills to prevent homeownership issues and ensure Philadelphia residents can keep their family homes.

About

Many houses in Philadelphia are passed down through generations of family members. This can complicate ownership or create issues with the home's title. Missing the proper paperwork for a property can lead to eviction or foreclosure.

Coming soon under Mayor Cherelle L. Parker’s H.O.M.E. Initiative, the City of Philadelphia Wills Program will support residents with writing and preparing their wills. The program will help to:

  • Avoid future tangled title issues.
  • Ensure proper legal documentation for property transfer.

The City is still finalizing program details. Check back soon for updates and to learn how to apply for the program.
