Preparing Your Collection For Your Death

[darkhorse9]

It's not a question that one likes to discuss, but it's a valid one. If you were to die quickly, would your loved ones have any idea what to do with the collection you left behind?

I'm the only one in my family who collects, so they know nothing about the hobby. As a whole I would value my collection over 50K so it's a sizeable undertaking to liquidate it.

My question is; does anyone have advice on what to do to make sure that when I'm gone the collection is properly disposed of?

I have only one rule for my collection. I collected because it gave me enjoyment. Many years of it. There's no reason to keep it after I'm gone so my son is to sell the whole thing and use all that money to do something equally as enjoyable. Take a trip to Europe, buy a sports car, have a mother-of-all-parties. I don't care, but spend it all on something that would be epic to him.

What should I be doing now to make sure that he gets what's coming to him?
