Have you made provisions for your dolls if you die?

I would NEVER want my beautiful doll to rot in the ground with a skeleton when it could be loved by somebody alive.

 

Depending on my financial standing when I do pass away, I either want my dolls sold at charity auction, or eBayed off by someone who knows their market value (like my current boyfriend) to help pay my final expenses. No one in my family but me gives a damn at all about dolls, so there's no reason to keep them unless my signifigant other at the time wants to keep one or more for a momento of me.

 

I've thought about this for a lot of my possesions... Hmm. I would love it if my dolls got passed down in my family, you know, from generation to generation. I'd give my dolls to my children, then they'd give them to their children... and on and on. I'd hope it would help my family remember me ~ you know? Same with personal journals, paintings, and books. I'd want those things to stay with my family so that they'd know a little about their history. I like thinking about it like that.

 

Weirdly that made me feel better. =P I'd like to think that his little personality would come with me, without having to cremate him or anything like that (I wouldn't want my boy to "go with me" in that way. Much rather him frolic about in real life. XD)

 

I have people in mind for both of my little ones. They are both very charming and there are more than a few people are taken with them. I'm not sure where Juniper would go to, she's not the same as the others. She's an old SD and has had a long life before I got her. I feel like I'm only one person along the way for her, and she needs to choose her next step.

Maybe I will be cremated and have some of my ashes put in her hollow head or torso. Wouldn't that be a creepy doll to inherit, one with the remains of a dead relative?

 

I'm not very old at all but I can see having a writen statement seeing as my possesions hardly have anyone just jumping to get them. Wills are important, my grandfather did not sign his and we have been forced into a legal battle with his girlfriend over his possesions and land, no fun!

Blanche (and Keyes) will be kept by my family and should any of my female cousins grow up to worthy of them, they shall be given to her. I wouldn't bury them with me, they should go to a new lover of dolls.

 

Hi

I also having seen the horror of the dividing up of my Grandparents estate.

I have a will even though I am relatively young ;-) and don't have that much valuable property. I have left certain things to certain family & friends. I have done it to keep the quibbling down to a minimum if I do have an untimely death.

I need to add all the doll stuff to it and organize my doll things better for me and my so called hiers. I was organizing my doll things, boy I have alot of stuff! I've been thinking of making a doll index and marking soome dolls. My sister gave me her childhood dolls. I would want her to get those back.
etc.

This thread makes you think,

I made a will when i was a child. I guess i ought to update it really now ive got dolls to think about. I know Ichabod will go to a good friend of mine. I think the others may go live with my sister who said she'd look after them if anything happened to me.

 

I would never wish this on anybody and i appreciate that this post may sound slightly weird but if (god forbid) you died what would become of your dolls?
would you hand them down? have them buried with you? have them sold, etc.

i would like my dolls to buried with me because i belive that when i die then they would die with me. Besides i would like them to be by my side in the next life. Please share your ideas guys!

 

My youngest daughter (18yrs old) is expressing an interest now. Up to and including wanting a sleeping El for her birthday. I'll probably leave them to her.

 

I would happily let them go to darthmissy-san, a member of DoA, since I know her in real-life.

 

give them to my sister (she loves them but she doesnt have the money to buy one, shes 15 lol)

 

I.... I don't know.

I guess I'd leave them to my grandkids, but there's a very real chance I won't have any, on account of not wanting kids at all.... so I guess it's either a good friend getting them, or I might send them back to Luts, and ask that they keep them safe and have them as factory mascots, or something...

 

This subject has come up a few times before...

I don't (and won't-) have kids, so:

In the future? I hope to give the guys to a neice or nephew who likes them.

Right now? Well, not having any neices or nephews yet... I hope BSR would give at least one of them to my god-daughter. She's almost 8, very mature for her age, and absolutely in love with Harumatsu. ^_^

As for me... >D I don't plan on ever dying so it's not something I worry about. I'll outlive you all! XD

 

Not if I manage it first!

 

^^ I'd leave instructions to my family on how to sell them properly. lol

 

Rowan would go to my friend tokage, and Fey would go to allace, because they both have dolls that have a shared history with my boys. Julian and Damien...hmm....I guess I'd let tokage decide what happens to them. ^^;

 

Wa ha ha ha ha!!!! OMG that's so funny!

 

..... I'm having kids with the only purpose of making my dolls family treasure. If I don't have kids, they'll go to my husebands, I'll make him promise to have kids and make them a family treasure and if I don't find somone insane enough to marry me or die too young, they go to my family since they are a part of me.
So yeah, I planned it all.
