Longevity, Inheritance Issues, Record Keeping Software 8-18-26
On our August 18, 2026 News for the Ages by Rethinking Aging Club podcast episode, Elizabeth Magallon Fleury presented an article regarding “heirs’ property,” where real estate passed down without clear titles can lead to legal complications and forced sales. Related to this, partition sales allow speculators to buy fractional ownership and trigger court-ordered sales at low prices. The Uniform Partition of Heirs Property Act legislation in many states aims to protect these rights. Ray Gordon noted that large landholdings often face issues when multiple descendants cannot agree on how to dispose of the property.
Benjamin Surmi discovered an interesting segment of a report generated by who.filed. The report revealed that of $101.5 million in aging-related funding, $87.5 million went toward software for record-keeping rather than direct care. As an example from the report, Roger Labs (which markets its home-health AI platform as Roger) uses ambient listening during patient visits to help clinicians complete OASIS assessments and other documentation.
Ray Gordon provided us with details on cellular rejuvenation and epigenetic reprogramming research, touching on Altos Labs, Yamanaka Factors, David Sinclair and Life Biosciences.
