Topic – Building vs Collecting and estate planning

Recently in Ontario, a modeler’s estate had to deal with 11,000 kits. Very overwhelming for the family I’m sure.

 

I’ve seen ad’s on model railroading sites about estate planning. Is this something kit builders should be thinking about.

This is not just a scale model kit issue, it affects many hobbies.
