Actually We did up a will where my wife and I leave everything to our grandchild
if we should go soon. My sister in law is our exectoress and I have left her
$10,000 plus 10% to sell it on ebay and the proceeds goes to the granddaughter.
If I am alive in 10 years I will sell it myself on ebay. That would be the
easiest for everyone and then my Lego room becomes a media room.
I really think that it is wise to have it ennumeriated in a will. I know of
many people who have died and their heirs go through everything they have taking
this and taking that. If it is a substantial collection it should be willed to
someone or some enity.
