The HCRU represents low-income Philadelphians to save homes and fight predatory consumer scams using a variety of tools, include courtroom advocacy, community organizing and education, and legislative advocacy. Tangled title problems occur when the homeowner who believes they own their home is not listed on the deed. This usually happens when a home is inherited from a family member, but the family never formally deals with the estate, and a new deed is never prepared. Tangled titles can also occur in rent-to-own agreements or when there has been deed fraud. Over 10,000 homes in Philadelphia have a tangled title, locking away a collective $1.1 billion in family wealth. These homes are disproportionately located in low-income, Black neighborhoods.

Assist attorneys in filing petitions with the Register of Wills and Orphans Court to resolve issues with probate. Draft, execute, and record deeds to obtain record ownership of clients' homes. Assist with estate administration, including matters concerning inheritance taxes and Medicaid estate recovery claims. Work closely with the Tangled Title Fund to obtain outside funding to help families address their title issues. Conduct community education sessions to teach homeowners how to deal with tangled titles and the importance of having a will. Pursue systemic advocacy, including policy, administrative and legislative advocacy and racial justice initiatives. REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS: High School Diploma or GED Eagerness to work as a team in a fast-paced and high-volume work environment Commitment to high quality compassionate representation for clients Excellent written and verbal communication skills Ability to meet deadlines and perform multiple tasks while maintaining attention to detail Computer literacy Ability to learn complex material quickly Initiative Strong interpersonal skills and proven ability to interact well in a multi-cultural To Apply: CLS will accept applications on a rolling basis until the position has been filled.
