Months, sometimes years, after someone dies, formal settling of estates take place. Maybe valuables are bequeathed and financial holdings are liquidated and distributed. More immediately, personal items might be given to loved ones. The idea of inheritances or legacies can also apply to non-financial assets as a way to bring the past into the future. Think of one object you possess, why it’s important to you and who you might want to leave it to after you pass away. Why do you want this person to have this special item? Consider your thought process. What does it tell you about what you’re grateful for?
