Product Description

A practical guide to advise Baby Boomers how to deal with the daunting task of facing a parents' eventual passing as it relates to residential contents, heirlooms, and the often difficult family interactions and feuds that accompany them.

With fascinating stories and comprehensive checklists, professional estate liquidator Julie Hall walks Baby Boomers through the often painful challenge of dividing the wealth and property of their parents' lifetime accumulation of stuff. From preparation while the parent is still living through compassionately helping them empty the family home, The Estate Lady® gives invaluable tips on negotiating the inevitable disputes, avoiding exploitation from scam artists, and eventually closing the chapter of their lives in a way that preserves relationships and maximizes value of assets.

4 out of 5 starsGood book for anyone with elderly parents, 2008-08-26
This book is a great resource for someone looking to liquidate their parents estate. It deals with everything from sibling jealousy over personal items to estate sales. I highly recommend it as it will save you a lot of time and money when the time comes to dispose of your parents possessions.

5 out of 5 starsLifesaver!, 2008-08-04
Julie's book is indeed a lifesaver! It came to my attention as I was beginning the process of downsizing my mother. Very difficult circumstances and this book was invaluable. Practical advice and comfort in knowing my situation was not unique. Julie has seen it all and the book reflects her expertise. I cannot recommend it highly enough and will buy multiple copies for my friends.

5 out of 5 starsA great gift for both generations!, 2008-07-29
Thank you, Julie - This is a tremendous resource for both generations. I sent copies to my siblings as well as to my aunt and uncle. It is hard for them to hear advice from us sometimes, but they were more than willing to read your book, and that, in turn, helps us. The book is well organized, so they can get something out of it even if they choose only to read one or two sections that seem pertinent at this moment. As a professional organizer, I am also recommending this book to clients who have a hard time "letting go" and need to understand some of the consequences.

5 out of 5 starsGreat book - excellent resources, 2008-07-29
Julie Hall has written THE manual on handling the sensitive subject of our parents' estate (now if someone could write one for new parents!). It is easy to read, with real-life examples which help me relate to each situation. I love the resource tools she provides - so I won't spend all my time looking it up but just handling it. Thank you!
