Models and wills

[Mark Brown]

The "hoarders" thread has gotten me thinking about wills a little bit, especially since I've never done anything about one. Since a lot of us have been around a while and we've already seen a lot of great modelers pass, I'm wondering if anyone has made provisions for their model stuff in their will. I would assume that, unless specific instructions are left in the will, most of the time all a builder's stuff would wind up in an estate sale and get auctioned off, probably to someone who doesn't know its real value.

I'm curious if any of you have done a will and if you included anything about your model stuff. Have you included instructions to leave it to a particular builder, or maybe to a club or even to the Model Car Museum?

I know it's kind of a semi-morbid subject for a thread, but it's also something that people tend to put off or ignore until it's too late. I'd hate to think of all the model stuff I've accumulated over the last 45 years winding up in a landfill or something.....I'd much rather it end up with a builder who will do something with it.

Any thoughts or ideas?

Already have one of these threads going. It's fairly similiar to the topic anyway.

Durn it - I knew I should have done a search first!
