Stafford County Administrative Center

with Terri Blanchette

We’ve all heard the repeating phrase “Your kids don’t want your stuff” – and to an extent that is very true. Each generation embraces only those aspects from the previous generation that resonates with them. BUT – there IS a way to work with that fact to help ensure you not only successfully transition the “stuff” of your history, but also help the next generation not regret their hasty decisions.
