Inheritance - splitting up your collection in your will

But I just wanted to bring up your Point 7 again. It is really well said!

It is a good point, my wife says I like the chase better than the owning even though I seldom sell stuff.

A couple of my collections are really specialized, and if they're interested, some of the stuff won't be findable or affordable later on.
One of the stamps is the only one seen since probably the early 1930's, (Super specialized variety of a common one) My oldest has already ordered me to never sell it. There are still gaps in most of the specialized collections, so plenty still to chase. Having a second generation to maybe "complete" the collection might be cool. (a couple of the items are ones where I have a copy of a variety but need to find a second one to confirm it- more stuff listed and cataloged back in the 30's when they weren't allowed to show a picture.
