After the closing, it was time to move the personal possessions reserved for the belligerent beneficiary. Once the estate rental property closed, there were no remaining assets to settle. Therefore, the closing completed the asset settlement phase of the estate. At this point, I thought it would be a good time to wrap up business with the belligerent beneficiary. As described in the article How to Handle a Belligerent Beneficiary, I sent an email to the belligerent beneficiary. The point of the email was to give the belligerent beneficiary one week to collect the reserved possessions, and that I would call the beneficiary to set the day of the exchange. After sending the email, I was hopeful that the belligerent beneficiary would accept the reserved personal possessions. Moreover, by accepting the personal possessions, the possessions reserved for the belligerent beneficiary would finally be removed from the estate.
