<p>[QUOTE=&quot;hic, post: 2795888, member: 88523&quot;]hi - about the lawyer thing - years ago, in addition to my coin collection, i wanted to leave my other collections (lego sets and action figures) to a) first my nephew, then b) to an orphanage or children&#039;s hospital..... i was advised, that for the most part, any bequests of this nature, MUST go through probate and MUST be &quot;appraised&quot;.... </p><p>the reason i was told, was that they have no idea, if my lego (or coin) collection is values at $5.00, $500.00 or $50,000+ and if the estate is ultimately valued over a certain threshold, then an estate (as well as an inheritance) tax may be due and the government, wants their cut!.....it was suggested that i include these bequests as &quot;addendums&quot; to the will - but that in and of itself, would NOT negate the need for appraisals........[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
