I'd bet the large majority of collections are worth less then the trouble to document and sell them. I think as long as you are ok with your family tossing the whole lot, or getting pennies on the dollar, then you statement is fine.
I'd prefer to set my family up for success, let them realize the value of the collection. At minimum this would mean having an auction house identified, the better stuff graded, maybe some hand written notes.
