[QUOTE="rosethe, post: 837264, member: 21556"]Thanks for the help. I have no heirs. I have 3 cousins, who are not at the top of the 'list' for my inheritance. The people I'd like to include are no relation to me. I don't think I need life insurance, I am not a liability to anyone. What I don't want, is the State handling my assets. I spoke with my attorney today, he was very candid, and kind. I told him I could not afford the fee, and, in his opinion, what would be wrong with the LegalZoom route. He told me that it would be fine, if it is executed precisely, by have 2 witnesses and a notary all in each other's presence while I sign it. As long as somebody knows that my Will exists, then it should be legal and binding. The only thing that I do not know if I can accomplish on LegalZoom is the division of the collection. I want it's value to be split among the 2 non profit orgs. I do not want to mention specific items, but rather the percentage of the value of the collection each receives. And give them the option of keeping the collection items. Not sure how I can get this done. I wish I could use the 'gifting' thing. I just don't think it is right for me, as I will not be doing anything with this collection (except hopefully using some for retirement).[/QUOTE]
