When we're gone - what happens to our life's work? It's daunting to think about putting something in our will, or making some other legally binding arrangements. I've typed a one page document, and put it in my safe with other key documents, wherein I've spelled out my wishes. Generally they are to offer my files to anyone in the close family who has an interest in it, but if there are no takers, then I made a list of genealogy repositories I've worked with over the years that I would like my executor to contact and see if they want the collection or any part of it. If no takers, throw it out! My executor should also send an email to all of my contacts and, explaning that I have died, and give them a heads up that my on-line files may vanish after my subscriptions run out - so copy them soon if you want them.... This is my solution, based on the 80/20 rule - not perfect, but it may cover a lot of bases with minumum of effort on anyone's part. At least I can sleep well, knowing I've done something.
