Readers learn immediately how to identify and understand the special significance and value of belongings. This process often results in surprises. Using the authors' suggestions the process can become a celebration of a person's life rather than a family nightmare. This book helps anyone who wants to proactively take charge of passing on personal belongings, or anyone concerned about how their possessions will be distributed by their family after they have died.
