The Great Divide: Personal Property and Tangible Assets in the Time of Covid and After The practical and emotional challenges of dividing personal property anytime, but especially with Covid restrictions on historical norms, and guidance for how to make the process transparent and efficient are real, and very often, overwhelming. Oftentimes a will or trust is detailed and carefully designed to be somewhat bulletproof to avoid any ambiguity or uncertainty around what is to be done and how all but the tangible assets are to be divided.
However, the direct heir interaction, collaboration or conflicts between heirs most often surfaces around the sentimental items, like artwork, jewelry and furnishings. The professional instruction provided to the family in this area is often negligible, and inversely proportional to the real challenges and conflicts this area creates. Covid restrictions have only exacerbated the problems.
