A former classmate and 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 mine in Wisconsin recently made his will, mentioning beneficiaries of his var. collections and pers. effects. "Otherwise,that damn brother of mine will shitcan everything." End quote... .......That says it all, I think. Last year, a man who owned the largest collection of Edisonia in Baltimore passed-away unexpectedly, w/o a will. His daughters/family were forced to donate the entire kit-and-kaboodle to a museum , or face hefty fees on material worth $2-Million. I know, as I co-appraised the collection for fam/IRS purposes. .....Another good example for us all...... If you don't know of any deserving individuals who would be thrilled to be stewards, then consider museums or such . But again, make your intentions quite clear on paper. Remember, a will can always be changed. But disaster may reign supreme if there's no will. Cheers, JK (taking the Trons along on their final journey)
