People often hold a number of different assets or property when they pass away. Some assets are trickier to pass down to the next generation than others. Here is a list of some of the trickier items to pass down:

• Vacation homes
• Artwork
• Guns
• Airline miles
• Pets
• Retirement accounts
• Items with copyrights attached to them

While a number of individuals prefer to conduct their estate planning without the use of a qualified attorney, having an attorney counsel individuals on the appropriate way to distribute tricky items can help ensure that the inheritance will go on the way the person intended.
