What Do You Expect Your Family

[grandmoon]

to do with your Treasures and possessions after you die??

I was asked this today by a friend who is very upset the her Son in law has told her he will send all of her to the tip.

Most of my china belonged to my grandmother & great grandmother, so my daughter has already said she wants those items. Other items that have been handed down through the family, she will keep for her own children.

Have plenty of photos that she will keep about her ancesters she will keep them too.

Everything else, she can do what she wants to do............she will probably keep my collection of owls as well, as she likes owls.

My parents are in th eSKI club and I say good on them. They have very specific wills and its set up that each time we bug the lawyer their fee comes off the estate, so we like what we get or we get less. Basically its only the sale of the house/car. All their investments should be gone by the time they do.

Their "stuff" is in the will and the left overs we fight over/sell/give away, what ever.

If one dies before the other, then the spouse is left everything, so we goe nothing until they are both gone. 

My view is why should I benefit from my parents death?

Im too young to think about what my kids will do but as far as my own folks go, I will def keep all photos, that's a must.

What do you think regarding jewellery though, should it go to the daughters (assuming all have good relationships)? I know I will def leave my engagement ring to my daughter but I only have one, I figure my son's wife will get her mother's. 

I also have known people that have left their house to only their sons, because he is THE SON!  I think everything monetary should be split evenly amongst LOVING children.
