"Who Gets What?"

If you have ever been faced with the responsibility of disbursing items from a loved one who has moved or passed away, you know it can be an emotional time. Not only for you but for others close to you. This presentation is valuable to estate professionals and their support staff, will executors and friends who care for others who may be leaving their home.

This program gives you tips and suggestions on questions like:

  • Who is entitled to get something?
  • Who should get valuables and why?
  • What is too valuable to give away?
  • How can I tell when someone is genuine?
  • How can I do this without hurting someone's feelings?
  • How can I make this a "win-win" for everyone?
  • What are my real responsibilities?

Included in the presentation are actual experiences we have had on this subject. Some are funny. Some are sad. You will enjoy John's "Russian Ferret Store Theory" example revealing a side of human nature often seen but hardly ever admitted to.
