I know this may sound like a crazy statement. I'm a big fan of Christmas and the other holidays in general. Here's the problem.....I have seen more fights settling people's estates over Christmas decorations than anything else. It took me a long time to figure out why Christmas decorations caused so many problems. After practicing for about 10 years, I finally figured out the problem. I finally knew what Christmas decorations meant to people. The best time in most people's lives are their childhoods. Most people favorite memories as a child are those of Christmas time. The things that jog so many people's memories about Christmas time are the handmade ornaments, cheap plastic 1970's style lawn ornaments, and other family heirlooms past from generation to generation. These decorations often are a very emotional connection to people that have just past away. People cling to these items and will unfornately quarrel with other siblings over them (usually why everyone looks in disbelief over why anyone would want these items.)
Whenever someone passes away, it is a very emotional time for people. People take solice in things that help them remember their loved ones that aren't with them any longer. If you want to help avoid arguments, take the time to include a written memorandum that will be attached to your will. Contact us and we'll show you how.
