[cctalk] Re: Estate Planning was: Re: Auction houses vs ebay

Having just updated my Advance Directives document before going under the knife and saw, I thought a bit about the subject of estate planning. My Lovely Wife, were she to become a Lovely Widow has enough trouble dealing with day-to-day tasks. There's no way that she would want to deal with the minutiae of getting rid of the old junk I have. Since I'll be long past the "caring" stage, I've informed her that it's perfectly acceptable to my memory to have a cleaning service come in and dispose of the stuff by carting it off to a recycler. It will simplify her life dramatically. Sorry, but that's what will work for her. She will not deal well with strangers coming into her house, ransacking the place for a bunch of old computer gear and musical instruments. --Chuck
