Remember Heirlooms in Estate Planning

     A recent blog post by Alfred Brophy brought to my attention the remarkable way something physical like a painting or sculpture can be so meaningful.  Brophy discusses the relationship between art and law.  His point is that physical objects can advocate for a better world, inspire, or offer a reminder of a special time or person in a way that is both powerful and immediate. 

     While everyone may not have an art collection at home many people have special family heirlooms or other objects that have a profound significance in their lives.  These are among the most treasured and irreplaceable of your personal effects and your wishes for these heirlooms are an important part of complete estate planning.  Whether you wish to donate your personal property to a museum or charity; or want to insure that these items go to the intended friend or family member.  Our Memphis Estate Lawyers can guide you through the estate planning process to make sure that your wishes are ca are carried out for your most precious posessions.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                             Read the full article at ; http://lawprofessors.typepad.com/property/2008/05/property-and-pr.html
