When my parents died, my siblings and I
were faced with
the task of settling their estate. By putting to use the advice of
our father, we were able to accomplish this with remarkable
success. In fact, we actually
became better friends than we
had ever been - and we remain close still, many years later.
After
giving out this information to friends, family and
other
acquaintances for over ten years, and then receiving back
countless stories of praise and gratitude for the enlightening
advice, I began to realize that this really was a
sensible
solution to this age-old problem. Then when my mother-in-law
passed away, my husband asked me to give the information
to his siblings so they could use it to settle her estate. After
that ultimate test and “vote of confidence” from those who
knew me best, we concluded that this was indeed information
that would help many people facing similar circumstances in
years to come. My husband encouraged me to begin the
publishing.process.
It is my sincere hope that the information contained in this
book will assist other families to achieve a peaceful estate
settlement. By doing so, they can probably protect their family
relationships and hopefully avoid the type of conflict that tears
families apart at this emotionally charged time of life.

Angie graduated from the University of Georgia in 1968 with
a Degree in geography, specializing in cartography (which is
map-making). This led to her employment as a professional
cartographer for the Dept of Agriculture in Washington, D.C.
Soon after her arrival in DC, she met her husband who was
then a Naval Officer, and also serving as a White House
Military Social Aide.
After they married in 1972, they made their home in Evans,
Ga, outside of Augusta. They raised two sons, Hunter and
Taylor, now grown. Carter became a high school teacher and
coach. Angie taught high school English and geography for
three years before opening a retail travel agency in Augusta –
Morris Travel, which they operated for many years.
She adapted a course of instruction and opened a state
accredited travel school to train travel industry personnel,
which she operated simultaneously with the agency. All of
these experiences have added to
Angie's qualifications as
a teacher – only now instead of English or Geography or
Travel, she instructs others on her system
of organization,
teaching them everything a family needs to know concerning
“How to Settle an Estate Peacefully and Fairly”. She
is now
recognized as an expert on this topic and the system she
developed. Not only does she teach people what to do, she
also gives specific instructions on HOW with a step-by-step
guide in her book:
The Settlement Game: How to Settle an
Estate Peacefully and Fairly.
It even contains all forms
needed for the settlement process, along with her permission
to reprint them as needed.
