The U.S. Forest Service Lake Tahoe Basin Management Unit will begin the sale of fuelwood permits at the South Shore office on Monday, May 19, 2014, and at the North Shore office on Wednesday, May 21, 2014. Permits cost $20 per cord, with a two-cord minimum purchase and a limit of 10 cords per household.

First make a list of your collections of special items. It could be antique furniture, old guns, special china or silverware, dolls, sculptures, old cars, baseball cards, etc.

Then consider meeting with the family before you decide which items will go to which family members (or friends). Maybe a beneficiary will prefer receiving cash instead of a collectible item.

Then think about which person will be the best choice for particular items. Which one will pass on to the grandchildren and future generations?
