dividing property after a death
My father-in-law died this week.He had a wood working shop in his basement. My mother-in-law wants everyone to put their name on what they want.Everyone is afraid to step on someone else's toes.There are 3 sons and 2 son-in-laws. How would you divide the tools, fairly?

First, my sympathies to you and your family. I think putting a name on the thing you like most would be an excellent solution. I don't know how many tools there are, but I think it would be acceptable if everyone would go through and label their first pick. After that, someone else gets to make the first pick and then the last one gets to make the first pick. In the event that someone has a gripe, offer them the opportunity to come up with an alternate solution and let them see just how hard it is to be just. In a time such as this, I don't think anyone will be too demanding. Good luck, and once again, my deepest sympathies.
