A lifetime of collecting -- coins, stamps and china. But younger generations don't want it all. Hate to tell Boomers, but kids would rather pass on it than have you pass it along.
In my legacy and wishes planning business, I hear a lot about families who are torn apart after a death over the 'grandma’s blue bowl' phenomenon. That is when there is a family heirloom that may not have a lot of material value but holds a ton of symbolic value in the family. If grandma didn’t designate who to leave it to, family members fueled by grief tend to fight over this physical representation of family lore. But things have changed.
Sell them while you have the ability to get the best price.' As a collector myself, this is very wise advice. It is hard when you are passionate about something to realize that others in your life may not share your passion. The worst thing that could happen is that you leave a collection behind to people who don’t value it and who may not understand its value, and they either trash it or sell it for a fraction of its worth.
