It was a normal family un til their parents died, then it was a family who no longer spoke to each other. Do you hope your family doesn't match this description after your death? Dividing personal belongings or "nontitled property" can be a turning point in some family relationships. We all have heard stories of unpleasant experiences as sibling decide who gets items they grew up with and cherished in their parent's home. Minnesota State Extension conducted a research project to determine how people transfer non-titled property and the effect on families. The results showed that many of the issues identified in earlier research on transferring titled property such as a home, land and a car, also influence nontitled property transfer.

Their findings included: Family members commonly have different perceptions of what is fair depending on what they feel entitled to, who they are or what they have done for the parents. Lack of communication is common among owners and potential recipients. Individuals commonly are not asked what is important to them or what they think or feel. Decision-making is delayed until a crisis occurs and immediate action is needed. Preferences of owners of nontitled property is not put in writing.

As a result, surviving family often have dif- What's unlucky about 13? By The Associated Press EVERETT, Wash. Don't tell John Fischer and Debra Perry that having their first baby deliv- ered on Friday the 13th is bad luck. They think it might be fortuitous. By entering the world Sept. 13 at Providence Everett Medical Center, their son Austin got the same birthday as his 80-year-old grandmother, Betty Griffiths.

MARY LOU ODLE KSU-Saline County Extension Family and Consumer Sciences Agent ferent ideas about fair methods of distributing items and implied or verbal promises. Family history influences transfer decisions including unresolved issues and flicts as well as a desire to share memories and carry on traditions and rituals. What goals are common in nontitled property transfers in families? Each family is different, but some goals that emerged in the research project include: Preserving memories and family history and heritage through the generations. Keeping peace among family members by avoiding arguments and hurt feelings. Maintaining privacy and keeping decisions within the family versus settling the distributions through the courts or public sales.

Being fair to all involved. For some "fair" means equal, but it is extremely difficult to divide nontitled items equally. Some items have higher monetary values and other have a high emotional value. Contributing to society to preserve heritage and history. Recognizing that items have different meanings to each individual is an important aspect of transferring nontitled personal property.

Inaccurate assumptions about meaning can con- tribute to misunderstanding and hurt feelings. Siblings i may name the same special object but give different rea- sons as to why the item is special to them. Have you asked your chil- dren or grandchildren what items you have that they would like to inherit? If you have asked, were you sur- I prised at the items they se- lected? Often children have emotional reasons for want- ing specific family items, and those reasons have nothing to do with the monetary value of the item. I suggest you send a letter or e-mail to each of your chili dren and ask them to list five items they would like to have! Tell them you will decide who gets specific items and will attempt to see that each child gets at last one of their selected items. Make a list of who is to receive specific items.

You can give your family a copy of the list or if you; don't want to do that, tell them where to find it. With the holidays approaching, consider giving family treasures as presents. It eliminates shopping, and most family members will appreciate the gift more than a new present. Be sure to pass along the history of the item. Those who have been through the division of the property of their loved ones, know it can be a joyful time to remember all the fun times in the past, or it can become a stressful situation that causes splits in families.
