This study utilizes interpersonal justice concepts to examine issues of fai
rness in the intergenerational transfer of non-titled property. Individual
family members who had experienced property transfers articulate previously
unidentified distributive justice goals and decision rules, as well as pro
cedural justice elements and guidelines. Future family inheritance research
ideas using interpersonal justice concepts are suggested. Findings provide
the basis for family focused educational resources addressing the meaning
of fairness.
