The "Who Gets Grandma's Yellow Pie Plate?" Workbook is a warm, wonderful, practical and down-to-earth guidebook for every family. It really impressed me with its sensible and gentle honesty. My brother and sister and I got through the deaths of our parents without any tug-of-wars over family keepsakes. And still I wish we would have had this book. It would have helped us get the full measure of joy and memories out of the things our parents left behind. Everybody will need this book sooner or later. I'd recommend getting it sooner.

This is a marvelous book that gives you the language and tools to begin a very difficult process.

A great way to begin. A must companion to The Settlement Game. If you have both these books, you get the process and the courage to handle a very sad situation.

While this book has some great ideas, it basically takes 40+ pages of repetitive information to get to the basics. This book is targeted more at those individuals who would like to have long discussions or memory sharing activities with family members. Text includes several discussion topics with specific questions on learning more about your family memories including topics that maybe you didn't think to ask about. Good for "generation sharing". If you just want to get some ideas on how to distribute items or how to "value" sentimental items, you will likely only take 10-15 minutes to browse the text.

The book lays out different points of view and different goals that are or can be relevant in distributions of property. Although done in a very simple way, it is nonetheless helpful to pull one out of one's own tunnel vision on the issue.
