That’s my plan.

I’m confident in my executor (my brother, if my wife isn’t available to serve) and in my children and their ability to handle this. My guess is that they would sell or otherwise dispose of things like books, tools, ham radio gear, and so on. And since I am not planning to leave anything to anyone else, I’m comfortable with the decisions they’ll make.

We recently ran into an issue where we had to make end of life decisions for someone who never told anyone what they would want, left no written instructions, and has been declared incompetent by a court. It’s far more complicated and unpleasant than I’m willing to share here, and it wasn’t fun to do. I took the opportunity provided by this lesson to spell out those things in my will, as well as to impart them to my close family so that there would be no misunderstandings. That’s way more important to me than who gets my favorite rifle.
