A Cautionary Tale – Getting your affairs in order before passing on

[ClementeFanOh]

It'll be a blast to get a virtual beating from another group on another topic...

I am with obcbobc completely, based on my own hobby tendencies. I've
spent 40 years acquiring a collection (and knowledge, although some of you
would question the extent of it, and it would be counterproductive and
incongruous to leave my closest loved ones with a task they are not suited
to handle. At the very least (and I mean barest minimum), a veteran
collector with valuable cards could take one hour(!) to write a note listing a)
the most valuable items and values b) a preferred auction house and c) a
trusted hobbyist to guide them. Given the enormous amount of time I have
spent acquiring the collection, a minimal effort to point uninitiated
dependents in the right direction seems wise. It sure sounds better than a
final note that essentially reads, "You figure it out!"
