Curiously enough, you mention the one possessionof mine that I
actually care what happens to after my demise, and a topic that had
crossed my own mind quite recently. I know she will have to goto a
fellow worshipper, and it will be difficult figuring out exactly who
is going to be a good daddy and take proper care of her and will make
sure that arrangements are made for the next keeper of the grail. I
even wondered if it might not end up being someone on the list.
Treat me really nice if you wish to be considered...Hi Gang, Important topic, as some of our group
are marchingforward with time ahead of others.A former classmateand corp/estate attorney
advised me to"get it in writing" and exact wording
as possible.Else, surviving family or friends could
become "fiends" .A buddy of minein Wisconsin recently made his
will, mentioningbeneficiaries of his var. collections
and pers. effects. "Otherwise,that damn brother
of mine willshitcan everything." End quote...
.......That saysit all, I think.Last year, a manwho owned the largest collection
of Edisonia inBaltimore passed-away unexpectedly,
w/o a will. Hisdaughters/family were forced to donate
the entire kit-and-kaboodleto a museum , or face
hefty fees onmaterial worth $2-Million. I know, as
I co-appraisedthe collection for fam/IRS purposes.
.....Anothergood example for us all......If you don't knowof any deserving individuals who
would be thrilledto be stewards, then consider
museums or such. But again, make your intentions
quite clear onpaper. Remember, a will can always
be changed. Butdisaster may reign supreme if
there's no will.Cheers, JK (taking the Trons along on their final journey)
