Description:
Dividing an estate fairly may sound easy, but in fact very few people know how to do it. Because of this, an event that should be dedicated to remembering the good times and paying honor to the deceased often becomes a time of strife and divisiveness, resulting in bad feelings that can sometimes last a lifetime. Now, there is a resource that helps to avoid such conflicts. The Settlement Guide provides clear, useful advice about how to divide the family estate of the deceased parents in a fair and peaceful manner.

Disappointing, especially based on other reviews... - I ordered this book along with Who Gets Grandma's Yellow Pie Plate? and Sell, Keep, or Toss?: How to Downsize a Home, Settle an Estate, and Appraise Personal Property. The other two books were far superior in working through the dynamics of settling an estate. They addressed several options that will help my family settle our parents' estate fairly plus dispose of unwanted items quickly and at the best price. The first book helps work through the feelings of heirs to reduce conflict and suggests several ways to distribute personal property. The second book discusses various strategies for organizing and disposing of all property including the unwanted stuff. "The Settlement Game" was repetitive, had only one option for distributing property to heirs, and seemed to be written mostly as a tribute to the author's father. It was pretty much a waste of my money.....

The Settlement Game: How to Settle an Estate Peacefully and Fairly - Hardly worth the read. Basic and repet1tive. Filled with worthless info just to make it long enough to be called a book. Would be better as a magazine article.

Good idea, okay execution - The Settlement Game outlines a procedure that most of my family members found helpful. The author's father is way too present in the book and is irrelevant to the book's purpose, but the basic idea is a good one: If you follow these guidelines, the settlement of an estate can be more fair and peaceful. Not a panacea, but it helps.

Great Ideas -- Quick Read -- A bit lite on follow through - I am in the middle of trying to settle a modest estate with lots of valuable stuff, house, cars and seven siblings from two marriages. The author does a good job of approaching the subject but doesn't follow through on some items in depth such has how to apply personality types. I found her idea's were very helpful in guiding my plans. You can tell there is considerable reverence for her parents. This would be a great book to give to beneficiaries prior to the division of items to help communicate the process. Not enough depth for executors.

guide - This book along with Grandma's Yellow Pie Plate are a must have if you are involved with an estate of any kind, or planning your own.
These things should be taught in High School.
