Have you made provisions for your dolls if you die?

If I die (hopefully in a long time from now), I'll have kids or something. But nonetheless, I'd be giving ownership to someone I trust. I know it seems silly, but I'd include in my will provisions to not sell (or throw away) the doll - I'd put this in so that my parents (should I die sooner than later) didn't just throw out my doll, or something parents tend to do. Keep it in memory of me.

 

I plan on passing my dolls down in my family, but suppose I should write down who goes to whom.

 

This is a good question. My dolls are the most expensive things I own. My mom thinks they are ugly and so does my sister so the idea of giving it to them is out. I would hope that by the time I pass away, I'll have kids that will really like them, appreciate them and take care of them. I guess if all else fails, they come with me.

I'm 27 and thought of making a will ever so often for the just in case (and that I'm paranoid). One that gives passwords to my website and facebook so it can be one of those memorial pages. I've had so many relatives die young and unexpectingly for various reasons that it really makes you think. My uncle didn't update his insurance and there was this big fuss, nor did he leave a will. So there was all this mess with his wife vs the kids vs the family.

 

If I should die, I'm hoping that I'd have a littel girl by then, because I'm only fifteen now. If I should die today, my doll should go to my sister, because she likes them. Maybe my mother might like to keep her because of how much I cherish my Luna, she could hold on to something I held dear to me.

 

I don't have anything planned for when I die, I don't hope to die soon, but if I do I think they go to a friend of min who's also in the hobby

 

i dunno, i think id have to agree with taking them with me ^_^

 

I like the part with the not sell or thrown away the dolls. I also hope that I will have kids when I die, so that the dolls can be given to them. But actually, I don't want to think about that. I hope I will have a long long life, so that I can enjoy my dolls and later think about who will get my dolls when I am dead~

 

When I first order my doll the wait was long!
and because of that I told someone that he can have it if I happen to die before it arrives
thankfully I didn't hehe

 

I actually HAVE thought of this, even though my darling dollie is still in another city and not even home yet, (but she's IN the country, finally!)

I am only 17, so I have a long ways to go before death (I would like to hope!) but I've spectulated that if I get into an accident or something of that nature, then my Margaret Adelyn, and any other doll I will have aquired by the time my untimely demise falls upon me, will go to my best friend Etienne St.Marc, here on the forum.

She's the only other person in this city, that I know of, who collects or even cares about BJD's, and I know my dolls would be in good, loving hands with her. My entire family is creeped out by BJD's...sooo, no leaving any dolls in my will, for them!

 

I've posted here before but my doll family has grown, so I'm posting again. My dolls tell me how they want me to send them to their next home.

F38 Volks: A charity doll. When I fall very sick or dying, I must put him up for adoption, money is to be donated to charity. I am not to keep anything. He is to be sold as a full set FCS doll just like the way I got him in his SD13 body, box, greeting dress etc. Morever, he wants to take the Rurouni Kenshin cosplay costume, slippers and sword along with him to his new home. I am to pack him personally with my own hands and send him off.

Soom Sphaler: He is not a charity doll. He says not to sell him unless I can make a profit from the sale. He wants to bless his owner/s. He says to sell his non human parts if I don't need them. The money can be used to cover his wardrobe cost. He cannot be under valued. If I have to sell him at a loss, I should not sell him at all.

Yukinojo Sawaragi Volks: He hasn't told me how he wants to be sent to his new home, he's a new addition to my family. My feeling is that he wants to stay as long as the F38 Christian except that he is not a charity doll but I could be wrong.

Nanjou Isao: He wants to stay till the very end. He promises to live on long after I'm gone. I am not to worry about him after I'm gone because he will find his own way to his new home. He wants to stay till the end. (Cries) I wish my family members will keep him in memory of me. He's my favourite.

Howl Luts and Dietrich Even Head 09 Wants to be treated like Nanjou Isao.

 

If I were to die, whether it be now, or many years from now, my doll would go to my best friend, without a doubt. If I had more at that time, all would still go to her most definitely, because I know she would take good care of them, never sell them, and treasure them as much as I did. I'm only fifteen, though, so hopefully I won't be dying any time soon. ;w;

 

This is something I actually started thinking about a few years ago after being hit by a car. I've acquired a lot of dolls that assuming I dont have children would be split between my sister and my best friends. (All of whom are in the hobby and know how to care for them)

One or two would probably be with me considering I want my body burned and I'd want to take the soul of the doll with me when I pass. (Assuming with belief that is what happens)
I'd feel too bad to have one trapped with me underground though... That wouldnt seem final enough for me.

 

I have thought about it briefly though nothing too concrete yet. My friends think my dolls are creepy so I sure as hell will not pass my dolls to them, mostly because I don't think they will love them as much as I do. (Heck, they probably think my whatever soul might possess the dolls and this would certainly upped my doll's so called "creepiness" factor in their books, so yes, I don't think they will treat my dolls well as well). As for my parents, they don't know the true value of my dolls and I am pretty sure my mum will sell them to her friends' kids at ridiculous prices (like $10) and who will end up damaging them anyway. So if I am dying (and still have some time left), I'll sell my dolls (like on DOA) to people who actually knows how to care for and love them. At least I know they are going to good homes. For sudden death, well... I guess I have to consider more and think of something lol.

 

I would like to think that I will give my dolls to my loved ones who will look at them and think of me long after I am gone.

 

I was thinking that maybe I could have the funeral directors decapitate me before laying me in the casket, and then place one of my dolls' heads where it should be.

 

I think they would stay with my hubby and I know he wouldn't do anything to them that I wouldn't like.

 

this. is a very good question. I keep thinking about it.
as I grow older (very old) or very sick, I'll sell most of my doll. I'll keep only ONE doll at the end, and this one will be burried with me
if I die in an accident, my mom will keep my dolls :3

 

My dolls... I want to leave them to my family, so they may still be around, keeping my house safe And I hope they never get sold...

 

if i die suddenly while my kids are young [under 12ish] my dolls are going to my two best friends [who are dolly people] who know that they are to sell the dolls and the money will go to my kids, that would be a nice chunk of change for college or in case of an emergency. my husband wouldnt know what to do with them or how much they are really worth, he would probably sell them for $20 at the pawn shop, if that much... if my kids are older and more mature with decisions, i would let them [probably my daughter, my son doesnt seem to care] if they would like to keep any or sell them for school money. hopefully i would have warning and could deal with it myself and not leave it to them.

 

Actually this is a very good question, since I've just started I still have no clue. I would hope that they would keep them (I have a 1 doll collection now) and maybe someone in my family would appreciate them just as much as I do. As my collection gets bigger, I might think about this more deeply.
