I am in the middle of trying to settle a modest estate with lots of valuable stuff, house, cars and seven siblings from two marriages. The author does a good job of approaching the subject but doesn't follow through on some items in depth such has how to apply personality types. I found her idea's were very helpful in guiding my plans. You can tell there is considerable reverence for her parents. This would be a great book to give to beneficiaries prior to the division of items to help communicate the process. Not enough depth for executors.

This book along with Grandma's Yellow Pie Plate are a must have if you are involved with an estate of any kind, or planning your own.

These things should be taught in High School.

I am the executor of an estate and needed guidance on an equitable way to distribute my parents assets that were not large value items but also not garage sale or donation items. This book has the best ideas I found and with 4 kids in the family with different personalities and locations, it really worked!

Being one of five siblings I was not looking forward to settling our dad's estate. I needed real life, practical help! Reading the Settlement Game was an answer to my prayers! Here is a book written by an author who has successfully setteled her parent's estate using practical ideas; she shares these ideas, gives you guidelines and tools so that you actually have something to work with. I felt like I had a friend to help me. Giving each member in the family a copy of the book helped them to know what to expect too. The Settlement Game not only helped me with my father's estate but it will be a great guidline in organizing my own estate. I am defintely refering the book to friends. Each one of us will someday have an estate that will need to be settled; I recommed this book to anyone who cares about keeping peace and harmony in the family.

Confidently recommended reading, The Settlement Game: How To Settle An Estate Peacefully And Fairly by Angie Epting Morris is a practical, "user friendly", and informative guide to arranging a fair division of a departed loved one's estate. Readers will be provided with a proven system for dividing all items in an estate in a fair, peaceful manner; an analysis of personality styles that can help you avoid conflict; useful, practical advice for dealing with all details of an estate, from bank accounts to taxes; handy forms you can photocopy to keep track of all items and miscellaneous expenses.

After mother's death, my brother and sisters looked to me to begin the estate
settlement process. The Settlement Game: How to Settle an Estate Peacefully and Fairly has been like a life line to a drowning victim. Anyone can settle an estate, but to do so peacefully and fairly, is another matter. After reading the introduction, I
purchased copies for myself and my siblings. Our home is like returning to another era with beautiful antique furniture, dishes, and many of our old toys. This book outlines a system for distributing these items fairly and peacefully. I particularly liked the spiritual side that the author weaved into the beginning of the book. I
would recommend this book to anyone who is faced with settling an estate and
wants to make sure the process is done fairly and that family relationships remain
unharmed.

This book really hit the nail on the head. I would recomend a copy in every family home. I know of many family feuds over estates that this book could have helped.
