Managing Expectations

A decedent had told her family for years that various pieces of furniture in her home were extremely valuable. Things like the porcelain collection in the corner hutch had a few rare pieces that “were nearly priceless.” She asked her children to pick items around the house based on her estimates of their approximate market values. The idea was that each child would get equal value. We helped the executor manage expectations when estate appraisals radically changed the values on each heir’s list. Together we developed a plan where the personal property distribution process allowed for each heir to express his/her desires and to select items in an orderly manner that everyone perceived as fair.
