About this episode

Daniel Glazier discusses personal property appraisals and strategies to avoid family conflict over estates.

Our guest this episode is Daniel Glazier — a Certified Personal Property Appraiser (CPPA) with more than 25 years in the designation. Daniel spent decades in the used furniture and antiques trade before moving into appraisals full-time and has now completed over 1,000 appraisal reports for families, executors, lawyers and financial institutions across Southern Ontario. In this episode, Dave and Daniel dive into the often-overlooked world of personal property appraisals and why so many family fights after a death have nothing to do with money and everything to do with stuff. They cover the endowment effect, Daniel's "VHS system" for identifying the items most likely to cause conflict, how to resolve disputes over contested belongings and why making a plan ahead of time is one of the most important and overlooked parts of estate planning. Whether you're working on your own estate plan, helping a parent downsize or settling an estate as an executor, this episode is packed with practical insights that could save your family real money and a lot of unnecessary conflict.
