traveldonkey sorry for your loss. I agree with what 8th notes writes.
actaman, your musings on establishing a database of owned gear resonates with me. I often wonder what will happen to my guitar collection after I'm gone. Will anyone know the value of my 50's Telecaster or will it wind up in trash somewhere. Similar for my hi-fi gear.
I believe the best option may be to catalog things like this in a letter to your heirs, along with how to sell them for best value, and a short note perhaps about why the piece was meaningful to you. Keep the letter in a place it will be found in the event. But your idea is good too.
