Have you made provisions for your dolls if you die?

Well, over here in reality, I think if I knew I was dying, I'd be less concerned about my doll, and more concerned about how I was uh, dying.

I don't have a will at 17, but I assume with the things that were more precious to me my brother would take good care of for the rest of his own life. I don't want kids, and no one will ever love me (XD); my parents would go into a deep depression and be something like "we knew everything in the world INCLUDING SANDBOXS, AND CHASING SQUIRRELS, could kill him and LOOK WHAT HAS HAPPENED. we were right all along, blaaaah blahh blahh. *they give up on life*" so, he's pretty much all I can count on for this type of thing.
*high-fives him*

 

To a certain extent. I want some dolls to go to friends if relevant. For example, Mihael would go to kazezakura because his boyfriend is her doll Riku. I'd probably let her have my Sabik as well, if she didn't have one when I died.

If not I'd want all my dolls to be auctioned here on DoA by my family and for all the money raised by them to go to charity. Macmillan or Cancer Research UK or something similar. I imagine there'd be a fair bit of money.

 

Well, as of now, my mother inherits everything, and she would not throw Alara away as junk. She would probably keep the dolls that appeal to her, or mean the most to her, and sell the rest.
That reminds me, I do need to gather up a folder of resources for information on all my dolls. When dealing with the loss of a loved one, the last thing survivors want to deal with is minutiae...

 

Maybe it's morbid but I've talked about this already with my husband and best friend. If I unexpectedly die, DollLuver knows which dolls she gets. She's then to sell the rest of them for my husband, and she gets a percentage of the sales for her trouble. The hubs would have no idea how to go about selling a doll so that really wouldn't work out too well if he tried.

 

I have to some extent, actually. Currently, I own 1 complete doll and a floating head, but when I do get to have more (because really, it's just a matter of when not if ), I intend to have my family keep my first BJD as something to remember me by, and the rest to be sold, with the proceeds to go to my family. I don't want any of them buried (or cremated) with me, because I want my dolls to keep on "living".

 

I must admit I have totally thought of this. Because I have to think of these kind of things (maybe not the dolls but what to do with certain things should I/when I pass as I have a daughter to think of.

While I would love to take my babies with me, (the first three I'm getting are going to be extremely special to me and will be based on special characters already created) any and all dolls I have will be given to my daughter, with the prevision that the first three (Neo, Sarge and Blade) all stay with her. The rest she will be free to sell if she really wants to but those three deserve to to go on living.

 

I would probably ask for a select very few to be saved (with my future kids or other close person, or if my parents are alive maybe ask that they display them somewhere).

If there are any other dolls, and my kids aren't attached, I'd ask that they be sold and the money given to a good cause (close friend/relative who needs it, a charity, or my church).

 

i am 62 so i do think of how many years i have left and wonder what i should do with my stuff. i would love to be buried with my dolls, except i could think of them moldering in the ground with me and all my icky bits!
i will probably leave my dolls to my 2 oldest daughters, as they are both into bjd's and have several of their own already. in fact, they were into the hobby before me.

 

I.....had not thought of this. I don't have any kids, and I'm doing the whole-body donation thing, so they can't be buried with me. I think I would probably leave them to my anime-loving niece, who would give them a good home.

 

... I think that it would be funny to get everyone's dolls' perspectives on these comments. XD
My two tinies don't seem to have that many cares. Although they'd be sad to see mommy go, I think they'd eventually find happiness with whoever (trusted friend) I leave them with.

 

If i die early, id like to give my doll to my boyfriends aunt ^^;
She is the only other person i know irl that appreciates dolls.. of all sorts.
and she's wicked cool to boot, so i think my doll would be content there ^^

 

When I die (hopefully not anytime soon, i mean, i'm only 14 XD; ) I'll leave my MSD to my best friend, Kimmie~ And, if it's possible, if I dont give my Puki (on the way, but still) to Kimmie as well, i'd try to send her to ImpureCelestine because i know she'd have a good home there~

 

I have totally thought about this D:

I think I would 'will' them all to my closest friend in the doll industry, but I dont know if that would bother her...I mean, I wouldnt want them to creep her out, being the dolls of a dead friend...and I wouldnt want her to feel like she couldnt sell them. I dont reall know what I would do <:[

 

My friends are not into the dolly world. If I die, I'll ask one of my dolly friend to sell all my doll. The money to go to charity.

 

Oh wow... Never thought of this... Writing a will seems... over the board? No offense, though, but I've never thought about dying... But I guess when I die, my family will put all my dolls back in their boxes and sell them... There's nothing I can do when that happens, right? Unless I can go and haunt those dolls and their new owners!

 

I would recommend talking to her about your intentions (this goes for anything you wish to leave via will). That way you will know whether or not she is comfortable inheriting them, and knows what you wish done with them after you are gone.

 

In my will, if I were to go say-tomorrow, everything I own is to be sold & the money put into a trust for my children(but they are at any age where they can pick things to keep if they want them) If my children are adults by that time then everything goes to them. I have asked that they take care of specific dolls & not sell them, but the rest they can keep/sell/give away as they see fit. It is kinda a comfort to know that something I put a lot of emotion/money into won't just be thrown away.

 

well whaterver happens to me, since my dauther is still 17 months old, my mother will take care of my "estate" moneys, house and belongings, until my baby is old enough ^^

 

Well, as much as a pain in the arse adoption is for gay couples.. I really hope that my (child)ren will at least have some interest in my dolls, so that they can be inherited when I pass on.

If I die before my partner does, he'd be their carer. :B

 

LOL my husband will probably box the dolls ^^ my lil baby girl however, as soon as she sees the girlie doll she goes "mama baba".
