What happens when it's over

plan
wait a few weeks after said timely mishap let all those who knew of you and the "stuff " get written or at least verbal notice ...
all items willed out are set to that plan ... the rest goes
review all said items at the whole day of wake
sell all said items at auction right after the funeral
to highest bidders no matter how much whining occurs

money is divided to family


i have seen family way over pay at estate auctions guys be ready

 

I think I can read more about traditional hotrods in actual obituaries!
You guys need to get to the mens civic clubs a little more to talk out your issues there...

 

Turk: I helped a friend sell off his uncles estate after he was gone. He left a LOT off stuff behind and it took us nearly a year to do. It was 140 miles away, 20 trips. The widow made a pile of cash! However. She was really upset that "He" left her with all that stuff to do something with. MY advice is, since you are probably gonna be here for a little, is to wittle the pile down to what you really need, not want, sell the rest. You can still have stuff to entertain yourself with without leaving the burden to your WIFE. Tim

 

I told her to put it on the curb right along with my ashes........

 

This is what I told my daughter to do too.She's the executor of my estate.

 

don't worry, the way this president is going, he will be glad to take care of your prize poss., more stimuless to give away...

 

Funny you mention this. A friend of mine left too early and didn't have a list of people to contact or what was stashed where, or if he did, nobody found the will.

I'm certainly not properly prepared or anything, but I have a safe with all my papers like car titles, leases, gun receipts, copies of ids, all that jazz that I'd like to grab just in case of a fire or something, plus a list of folks to contact with phone numbers and email.

It's at least a decent start for anybody that would have to handle this stuff.

 

Guess I have $40k + in just hand tools plus my 30 Coupe, and have no children, no one in my family that is interested in my project. Soooo!
I saw a program that a Airline Stewardess started for the Wounded Warriors in Texas, (they take Hot Rods and other off topic cars and refurbish them, gives a place for the Wounded Warrior to hang out, work and talk Hot Rods keep his mind busy and do something constructive. So that's my plan.
