Who Gets Grandma’s Yellow Pie Plate Workshop Offered in Calais and Machias
Personal belongings often have special meaning for individuals and family members. Planning to pass on such items — treasured wedding photo, Grandpa’s fishing tackle box, or a well-used yellow pie plate — can be challenging, and may lead to family conflict. This session is a step by step guide on what to do with your non-titled property (or yellow pie plate)……when you move, downsize your home or if there is a death in the family.
University of Maine Cooperative Extension Educator, Jane Conroy will lead the discussion in these workshop sessions. Free of charge. No matter who you are in the process (parent, spouse, child, educator) the resources she shares will help families communicate, make decisions, and lessen conflict. You will be better prepared to bring up inheritance issues for discussion; prepare a legally appropriate list of non-titled property; decide what fair means and consider how to deal with conflicts before they arise.
