Perhaps nothing will be more personal to your survivors than the possessions you leave behind. This is why it’s important to describe exactly how you want your personal effects to be distributed. The person responsible for distributing property and assets to beneficiaries will make sure your personal effects go to the right people.

Without this information in your estate planning documents, it becomes all too easy for family members to take (or steal) what they want from your home with the justification of “they would want me to have it.” Any valuable possessions of yours should be documented in your estate plan, along with the names of their intended recipients.
