A Cautionary Tale � Getting your affairs in order before passing on

ClementeFanOh · #1 06-29-2022, 07:15 AM

Johnny630- there are people who are fortunate enough to leave their loved
ones many of those things (equities, real estate, cash). The topic isn't what
YOU think other people should leave their loved ones, it pertains to best
practice for people who have already decided (!!) that they are leaving
loved ones cards or other memorabilia. Anyone who reads your posts knows
that you have a very high opinion of your own financial advice. The problem
is that your advice often skips the nature of the actual hobby itself- which
is precisely what happened in this case. The question is, to what extent
should a collector prep his loved ones to receive collectibles upon the death
of the collector? It's not that difficult, and was the subject of every single
post in the thread until yours.

Short version- stay on topic.

Sounds like someone's been "citizen's arrested!"

Hi Pete! Yeah, the topic of this thread is interesting, it's been the subject of
direct conversations I've recently had with longtime friends who collect, and
I'm curious to read what others say (on all sides of the debate). I'm not big
into fighting the basic premise of a thread. If I woud agree to go with
friends to a steakhouse, it wouldn't play to lecture them on how chicken is
better than steak- I just won't go to the steakhouse in the first place

Short Version me to you, I hope you find peace.

Johnny630- you neither hope, nor care, if I "find peace". The topic is
about the level of prep for loved ones to receive collectibles- which they
likely know nothing about- upon the death of the collector. It's actually
relevant and thought provoking for people who can focus on it. Trent King
