We see family disagreements over heirlooms on an almost daily basis. Tangible personal property – regardless of value — is what families tend to fight over most often because each item has sentimental value. The feuds happen during lifetime if, for instance, grandma gives a ring to one of her granddaughters and the others get miffed. Most often, though, conflicts erupt after a death when nothing has been written into the will or estate with instructions about “who gets what.”
