WHEN A FAMILY BREAKS UP OVER "Things" LIKE:
● A
SILVER BOWL,
● A
PIECE OF FURNITURE,
●
OR A CHRISTMAS
ORNAMENT . . .
The
results can be HEARTBREAKING . . .
but, It doesn't have to be that way! Families simply need to LEARN how to go through this
process.
Discover the PROVEN SYSTEM that teaches how to
settle an
estate both PEACEFULLY and FAIRLY.
About The Settlement Game:
One way to preserve FAMILY HARMONY is to agree
on a system to divide all of the little things in an estate settlement..
(This refers to furniture
and personal
property (things usually named in a will as "...and all OTHER
Property, to be
divided equally among my heirs." - People fight over the
"Little Things"!
Consider These Points:
●
Do you dread the eventual
necessity of dividing personal property of
a family estate?
(Here's a way to do this without having a family
feud.)
● Do
you currently have good relationships with your
siblings ?
(Protect those relationships so you can remain
friends.)
● Is it important to you
to protect, preserve and even improve family relationships
in your
family during this inevitable time of life ?
(This is all about relationships - Keep the peace.)
____________________________________________________
If any of these statements
are true, then this may be the
most important letter
you’ll ever read
- for sure this is
the most valuable website you’ll ever visit!
● There are countless books to
assist you with the financial and legal side of this
problem. However, there is little
information out there
to teach you how to divide
all of the little things
in an estate. Usually -
"The LITTLE THINGS
cause fights that can damage
relationships and eventually destroy a family."
I know how you feel; I've felt
the same fear. I’ve been through this process.
I am happy to tell you that
it is
possible to emerge
from dividing an estate with a
peaceful and fair settlement
and remain friends with relatives. I know, because
along
with my three siblings - WE DID IT!
(Our parents would be SO proud!)
THE
SETTLEMENT GAME:
How to
Settle an Estate Peacefully and Fairly
is
a step-by-step guide for how to keep peace and avoid
conflict within a family when
going through the estate settlement process. This is one of
life's inevitable moments -
a time when emotions are high, things get said, feelings get hurt and that
can cause
damage to relationships. Sometimes that hurt can last a lifetime. Wouldn't it be better
to go through this
process following a
PROVEN SYSTEM of organization to avoid such
pain and heartache?
This provides both professionals and individuals
with
strategies that work.
These include such things as:
● Understanding
of the difference between a WILL and an ESTATE PLAN
●
PERSONALITY DIFFERENCES and how to communicate
effectively
● Who should be involved in the settlement, (and
who should NOT be)
● Why it is Important for
everyone involved to commit to the common
goal of "Keeping
Peace Among Heirs"
● Why items should NOT be REMOVED from the home
before the official
division in the estate
settlement
● The SYSTEM OF ORGANIZATION to use for the
division of property
a. The Appraisal
b. Interest
Lists
c.
Distribution Sheets
d. Tally Sheet
("The Great Equalizer")
● The Actual DIVISION PROCESS (Playing the Game)
● The TO DO Checklist of things that must be done to
finalize the Estate
● Keeping Peace Long Term - (Thinking Forward)
Whether you are
a professional helping a family to go through this process or a
member of the family, this information will guide you through the entire process
step-by-step. This PROVEN SYSTEM uses a logical process that helps preserve
family relationships.
We've helped countless professionals and hundreds of
family members to settle estates
peacefully and fairly
Here's what
people are saying about this Valuable System:
"After
mother's death, my siblings looked to me
to begin the estate settlement process.
This book,
The Settlement Game: How to
Settle an Estate Peacefully
and Fairly has been
like a
life line to a drowning victim. Anyone
can settle an estate, but to do so
peacefully and
fairly, is another matter.
After reading the introduction, I purchased
copies
for myself and my siblings. Our home is like returning to another era with beautiful
antique furniture, dishes, and
many of our old toys. This book outlines a
great
system for
distributing these items fairly and peacefully. I particularly liked the
spiritual side that the
author weaved into the beginning of the book. I would recommend this
book to anyone
who is faced with settling an estate and wants to make sure the process
is done fairly and
that family relationships remain unharmed."
D. Gehr (Fort Loudon, PA)

"When
my father passed away in 2006 I was in a panic about
being the executrix of his
estate.
Your book was a life saver.
It helped me start and end a very
long, complex
process to settle his estate. He was an
orthopedic surgeon with many holdings and
investments, had a new 'girlfriend' and 8
children! Aaahhh! I actually expanded on your
very reasonable
ideas and am happy to
report that all of my siblings are still best of friends!
Thanks . . ."
Diane Buerkle, (Charlotte, NC)
"I was the executor of an estate and needed guidance
on an equitable way to distribute
my parents assets that were not large value
items, but also not garage sale or donation
items either.
This book has the best ideas I found
and with 4 kids in the family
with
different personalities
and locations,
IT REALLY WORKED!"
A. Stroh
"Being one of 5 siblings, I was not looking forward to
settling our Dad's estate.
I needed
some real life, practical help!
Reading The Settlement Game was an answer to my prayers!
Here is a book written by
an author who successfully settled her parents' estate using
some
practical ideas. She
shares these ideas, gives you guidelines and tools so that you actually
have something
to work with. I felt like I had a friend to help me. Giving each
member in the
family a copy of the book helped them
to know what to
expect too. The Settlement Game
not only helped me
with my father's estate, but
it
will also be a great guideline to help
me in organizing my own
estate.
I am definitely referring the book to friends. Each
one
of us will someday have an estate that will need to be settled; I recommend this
book to
anyone who cares about keeping peace and harmony in the family."
A. St Martin
(Orange
County,CA)
"I am going to donate
this book to our church library!
It is truly a
"must read"
book when
a loved one dies and you face dividing up all of all the family
memories."
I purchased this book when my Dad
passed away and the 3 of us kids were faced with
the daunting
task of figuring out what to do with Mom and Dad's 57 years worth of
household
goods and treasured items. This book was the
only one I found that
addressed the issue of how to
fairly and compassionately distribute personal
effects;
it explains how to factor in the different
personalities of the heirs and how to meet the
emotional needs of each individual, without
sacrificing your own. The book also
gives some
wonderful ideas that can be employed to bring
emotional
closure when selling the family homestead.
It even included some good tips
for displaying some
of your treasures, like old toys and Grandma's hand-made linens
or quilts when you bring them home . . . it was just what our family
needed to make
a difficult process a healing experience."

JUDGE GRIFFIN BELL,
(U.S. Attorney General - Carter Admin.)
wrote the Foreword to this book. WHY? - - because
he could see that
it was
a "common-sense approach" to
an age-old problem.
He also felt
that it
would be quite useful within the professional community. As
he
said:
"Attorneys usually do not
have a proven system to suggest to their
clients for this piece of
the estate
settlement puzzle."
Dividing all
of the
"little
things" is usually what causes problems. This process is referred
to in wills
as ". . . and all 'other' property to be divided equally among
my heirs." Although there are other possible methods for dividing
the
personal property, one that teaches how to do so
Peacefully and Fairly
is the real secret to achieving a
"Peaceful Settlement."
