Share Your Story
Everyone seems to have a story about the "yellow pie plates" from their own family. We can continue to learn about families and inheritance by listening to the experiences of families, including yours.
Please tell us more! What experiences have you had with the transfer of personal possessions? How did you and others make decisions? Were there particular objects that were the source of disagreements?
The stories and responses you provide here will be treated confidentially. This means if we decide to share your story with others, we will change the names and personal details to protect your family identity. Your story will be sent to the project team's email and read by team members.
Your story may be used to help develop additional educational resources and to help us learn more about inheritance decisions.
If you have any questions about how your story might be used, please contact us at
mstum@umn.edu.
