Program Description

Event Details

Registration is not required to attend. Register to receive email reminders about this event. 

Traditional estate planning typically focuses on titled property like land, houses, and vehicles, but often overlooks the question of what happens to an individual’s personal items. As the owner of Caring Transitions of Kanawha Valley, Melody Bailey helps families who are dealing with the emotional burden of loss and with the physical burden of “stuff” after a loved one’s passing or health decline. Join us as we work through this program based on the Extension Services program from the University of Minnesota, and hear real-world strategies for reducing conflict and misunderstandings, and work to identify the real value of personal belongings that are left behind. (Hint: it’s not just monetary!) 

Presented in partnership with Bringing Back the Village.
