CLINIC:
Estate Planning for Model Railroaders and Collectors
By Robert McQueen

As model railroaders, we spend years building layouts and collecting models and equipment. Alternatively, you may spend years putting together a collection of model trains. Either way, you end up with an accumulation of stuff and you can't take it with you when you leave this world. No matter what your survivors think of your hobby or the items that you acquired, they will be left to deal with it all. In this clinic, Robert will discuss assessing and planning to determine the disposition of your collection. He will share his observations and experience in going through this process for himself.
