<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Marie Forjan, post: 350714, member: 147&quot;]When my parents passed away it was clearly stated in their wills that everything was to be divided equally (there are 9 of us!). This is how we handled the jewelry...I took all my mother&#039;s fine jewelry to the lawyer. While there I took a photo of each piece next to a quarter. The lawyer had an estate jewelry store appraise each piece. I made a PDF with 5 or 6 pieces per page showing the photo and the description with value from the appraisal. Each of us let the lawyer know which pieces we wanted and he sent them to us. If more than one of us wanted the same piece we had to settle it between ourselves and let the lawyer know. It worked for us.</p><p><br /></p><p>My parents didn&#039;t have any antiques and no valuable furniture. There was however, a bar cabinet we all love. So we threw everyone&#039;s name into a hat and drew the name of the lucky winner. That worked also, but like I said, we only had the one piece to worry about.</p><p><br /></p><p>There were hard feelings and some of us are not talking to each other still, but it was not over things. Our family had other issues![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
