Guys (and gals) most of you are married folks and have families. As you know death has been a huge topic on my mind since my beautiful bride passed rather unexpectedly last year.
Since then I have been involved with a widows and widowers support group, and one of the recurring themes is, he or she passed away with this huge quantity of stuff, that the surviving family can't identify, and has no clue as to the value or even how to go about selling or reallocating the items to new homes.
I can't tell you how much easier it makes life for those left behind when they know where to find your important documents, have a document that inventories your XYZ stuff. In my wifes case her jewelry and collectibles, in most of our cases, our workshops and tools, the guys that hunt the guns and related equipment.
Make, and keep updated an inventory of your stuff, and maybe even decide where you want it to go should you no longer need it... If for no other reason, it would sure help you out in case of an insurable loss...
