Who Gets Grandma's Yellow Pie Plate?
Contact: Theresa Allan
Who Gets Grandma’s Yellow Pie Plate?
Have you and your family talked about the transfer of your non-titled property after you die? Estate planning discussions often focus on land, houses, cars, stocks, bonds and savings accounts. Too often, non-titled property doesn’t get discussed. For many people personal items carry more meaning and are more important than the titled property.
Non-titled property can include furniture, photos, books, tools, and jewelry. Many people have fond memories about their parents and grandparents using such items in their home.
To learn more about the transfer of non-titled property, attend “Who Gets Grandma’s Yellow Pie Plate?” at the Trousdale County Historical Society, Fred A. Vaught Library, Hartsville on Saturday, June 14th at 2:00 p.m. The instructor will be Theresa Allan, University of Tennessee Sumner County Extension Family and Consumer Sciences Educator. The cost of the session is free, but workbooks will be available for purchase at $10.00 if desired. Contact John Oliver or Julia Herod Carnahan for more information.
