Have you made provisions for your dolls if you die?

I'm not really sure. I had planned on leaving them with a friend of mine as no one in my family in interested in them, and I really wouldn't trust them with my younger cousins if they were the last people on earth. Though I'm not really sure, I really need to think about this. I don't want the state getting their hands on them when I die! Oh man, I need to make a will!

 

I'd want at least one buried with me. Personally, I don't think of that as burying them alive .. for when I die, my dolls die with me.

 

My daughter is my only heir, and if she decides to keep them I know she's care for them. But I wouldn't mind if she sold them either, if she'd rather have the money. I'll be leaving little else behind, believe me!!

 

A little too young to think of a will, but if I really had authority over my possessions when I died... I'd probably leave my family decide what happened to my KDF. He is my favourite, so I don't know what they would do to him. I don't even know if they know he's my favourite. Probably put him on a shelf (not even a box, my family doesn't seem to GET how precious and easily damaged these babies are) or stick him in a plastic beanie-baby case like some display porcelain doll. I would definitely want all my other dolls to be sent to my only doll buddy, but again, I doubt anyone with the authority to do so would know to do so.

Most likely after I die the dolls will be passed to some disrespecting, irresponsible, ungrateful little cousin in the family.

But most definitely had I a say my floating head, the doll for sale, and my DZ doll would go to DOA user Blue Ghost.

 

I don't have a will or anything, but I told my little sister that if anything happens to me I want her to take them into her care and love them just as I have.

Hopefully nothing will happen until I do make a will though so it's legal and no one asks questions XD

 

I've told my husband that I want to be buried with them... but I think I may have changed my mind and now I think I'd like to be buried with one and have the rest go to my nieces under the provision that they not be able to play with them until they are at least 10. I should probably mention that to someone at some point.

 

no problem there...two of my 3 daughters are into bjd's. i can see them divvying up the spoils after i croak!

 

I put into my 'will' that my dolls are going specifically to my non-bjd friend. So that she can sell off the dolls. I personally don't want them sitting around being a reminder to my friends and family. I don't want/need to be buried with any of them. I'll be dead and have no need for possessions at that point. I rather have them all sold off to help my living friends, to improve their lives. I do have one doll that I plan on passing on to a specific person, but only because it would be to diffecult to sell due to the mods, and she would appreciate the mod doll how he is. I'm rather practical when it comes to death. (Shrugs)

I already know that all of them go to my husband, but I've already told him that if he needs to sell them to help make ends meet that he should. Hopefully he would be able to find friends of ours that would like to buy them. I would want them to go to people who would love them and cherish them as much as I have.
I know his mom would want my yo-sd, Xiaoli, or as she calls her "Little Li"

edit: I've noticed a lot of people mentioning that they would have a doll buried with them- not an option for me. I've already decided I will be cremated, a more economic friendly decision.

 

Um...a friend has already claimed Loki if anything happens to me. lol I want Amir buried with me. The rest go to my sister. I'm not having kids, so no heirlooms here.

 

I have no written plans, but there are specific people I'd like specific dolls to go to if anyting should happen to me. I've actually had to think about this lately, not for myself, but because a friend of mine died a few months ago and her mum gave me the floating head she had recently bought to be made into a brother to one of mine. I'm going to buy him a body, give him a faceup and gut in/on the eyes and wig she'd bought for him.

 

I'll be cremated, so no point in burying a doll with me, though sometimes I fantasize about making a graveyard of dolls just to baffle a future archaeologist.

In reality, when I die, my property goes to my best friend, and whatever she doesn't want goes to another friend, and down the line once or twice more. If I end up having kids, they'll inherit my dolls if they're interested. If friends or family express special interest in anything of mine, I'll write it into my will, just to make sure there are no confusions over things they treasure.

I inherited things from my great grandparents that I hope to pass on, but none of them seemed to give much thought to what would happen after they died, and I'd like to prevent that kind of confusion and frustration after my death.

 

On the one hand, I want to sell my dolls before I die.
On the other hand, I'll not be able to send them, I love them too much.

I think the fate of my dolls will mostly depend of my fate

 

I don't think this is really a serious enough subject for me to have made written or set-in-stone plans about, but I've mentioned to my family in the past (after work made me nominate a beneficiary in case something should happen to me) that while my brother gets all my savings, my parents can have my dolls. My brother's getting a much better deal there financially, but I suppose the extra value for my parents would come with sentimentality on behalf of the resin gits?

 

My dolls will go to my sister when I'll die. I've no doubt about it.

 

Well if I died now, I'd want them to go to my best friend xP But if I died as an old person, assuming I still have my doll, probably dollS... Well its way too far in the future to say.

I'd never want one "buried" with me, for one cause I'd rather be cremated and chucked into the ocean or put in a forest, but for another, that seems such a waste. Someone out there could enjoy the doll so much, it could make their dreams come true.. i think it would be stupid to deny that so I could have one in my coffin. It's not like you can bring the dolls with you, and besides, to me, the body is nothing after death, I'm already gone. Yeah it'd be a waste of a beautiful piece of art, meant to be enjoyed.

Really if I believed I would care after death, I'd much rather have whoever visits my grave to keep the doll, and bring them along for the visits.

 

I will have my dolls, along with all my money, burnt in a pyre. In front of my children.

I haven't made any prevision yet, i didn't feel the need to before, but thinking about it is interesting. I think i'm going to be cremated after i die, also to avoid cases of zombies tormenting my family (joking, i just like the idea) and i guess my dolls would probably be kept in boxes by my parents as a memory or something, and later forgotten or sold in case of need. I'd just ask them not to break them or anything. Let them yellow, but i'm the only one allowed to give them harm.
When i've read the title for this thread, i had a kind of creepy mental image in wich i was dead, and had my body carved and my dolls put inside my ribcage instead of my organs. But that's way too creepy to do, and this way, they would be ruined. I like the idea of someone of my family keeping them as a remember.

 

I havent done this as it seems a bit creepy, ultimately I hope that my family and friends keep one or two of my dolls but sell the rest off if they need to. I know that my family really arent into dolls so I wouldnt expect them to keep my entire collection lying about just to appease me.

 

I expect that if anything WERE to happen to me, then my fiancee would take Cosette. My other, future dolls, I hope would be sent to good homes.
