Who Gets Grandma’s Yellow Pie Plate?
Navigating Tough Estate Planning Conversations

Tuesday, February 10

Few families escape making decisions about passing on personal possessions. Paring down and deciding if and how to transfer personal possessions is inevitable when a family member downsizes, declutters, moves, or dies. While it may seem simple, decisions about personal property can be challenging and lead to serious family conflicts. No matter who you are— older parent, spouse, or adult child —"Who Gets Grandma’s Yellow Pie Plate?” will offer a range of insights and practical tools to help address common inheritance decision-making challenges—and maybe even the courage to start the conversation with your loved ones (or support someone else that needs to).

Time: 4:00 pm - 5:00 pm (Pacific)
